Marcus Burnett

I would like to nominate my son Marcus to have his moment to shine. In July 2007 our youngest son Jack was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. At the time Jack was 4 and Marcus was 8. Our lives were turned upside down and for the next three years our focus was on getting Jack better. Marcus was a tower of strength to Jack throughoout his treatment always being able to make his little brother smile and looking after him and telling him how brave he is. But Marcus has had to miss out on a lot of normal childhood things - holidays and days out have been cancelled at the last minute as Jack was too ill - but Marcus has never complained, instead he has helped to raise over £35,000.00 for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. In our eyes and Jack's eyes Marcus is a hero. Thank you.
