The Chris Aked Foundation
The Chris Aked Foundation
Chris Aked was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in April 2017, when his baby daughter was only 11 weeks old. He fought hard, and his family were hopeful he would recover, but unfortunately the cancer was diagnosed too late and he died just five months later aged only 33. Whilst caring for Chris, it became apparent that there's little support for children when their parents or siblings have cancer and are undergoing treatment. Children are often side lined during this time and have to adapt during a very tough and traumatic period. They don’t always receive the focus, support and care they require, at a time when they need it most. The Chris Aked Foundation was set up to provide support to these children offering help through physical and sporting activities, counselling and memory-making days.
