Lewis's Story

We recently lost our beautiful brave son Lewis on the 17th of November 2021, aged just 21 years old.

Lewis was diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia, MPAL, short for mixed phenotype acute leukaemia. He was diagnosed at 18 years old and underwent intensive chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a full stemcell transplant.

Lewis was in remission for around 12 months but had a relapse in July 2021 and again started chemo. Lewis was 21 in October and was home for the weekend of his birthday, we are grateful for this.

Unfortunately Lewis got a serious infection in his bowel and never recovered. Lewis made the choice to come home for one last time. He was home just a week before he closed his eyes.

Some people never meet their hero, I can honestly say I gave birth to mine.

Lewis Keith Moore, forever 21.

Thank you to BSF for this break.
