Devastating Discovery
A simple accident turned into a nightmare for Amina Haq when her son, Zakariyah, stubbed his toe and it led to a shocking revelation of cancer.
A Race Against Time
After banging his toe and it turning purple, Amina rushed Zak to A&E where he was given antibiotics. But the issue persisted, leading to a blood test and the devastating diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
A Brave Journey
Zak underwent intensive treatment and hospital stays, but with the support of his family and the care of dedicated doctors, he is on the road to recovery.
A Cuddly Companion
Throughout his tough journey, Zak found solace in a special sensory 'Cuddles for Christmas' Warmies bear gifted by Cancer Support UK, providing him with comfort during hospital visits.
Spreading Comfort
Cancer Support UK aims to deliver 1,200 Warmies teddies to children's cancer wards across the UK by December 21, offering a source of solace and reassurance for young patients like Zak.
