Five years after his wife Kate died of breast cancer, Mark lost his 10-year-old son, Robbie, to a brain tumour.
'Robbie knew he was dying, he had seen mummy go through it and I can't describe the feeling of pride we had, total admiration for him, the way he put up with it all.'
This is his story.
Stand Up To Cancer and help us work towards the day when no one has to lose someone they love to cancer.
1 in 2 people in the UK will get cancer during their life time. Every pound you give helps speed up life-saving cancer research, bringing treatments to people who need them, faster.

This is one of the cruelest things I have ever seen. I'm so sorry.

@brendacollins2150 Год назад

It's devastating to lose one family member to cancer but with this, before I even got to the part about the son, you knew he was special from the beginning, he was like perfect, too perfect for this world, if that makes sense? He was there to help his mom let go and he was there to help his dad survive the loss. He shared more love, hope and joy in his short lifetime than most of us never experience.

@brendacollins2150 Год назад

I meant to say ever experience.

@DD-fk5cf 6 лет назад

The strength of this man is remarkable. I won’t say you’re wife and son are proud of you because you don’t need a complete stranger on RU-vid to tell you what you already know. Well done mate.

@jackd9928 4 года назад

I couldn't handle this. Completely agree the strength of this guy is unreal.

people like this gentleman make me realize how self absorbed and selfish I am .. much respect to you sir !!

@JigginsTV 2 года назад

Whenever I feel like I can't go on, I come back and listen to Mark's story. To lose his wife and his little boy, and to still soldier on the way he does, is an example of remarkable strength and courage. I hope, wherever he is today, that he and his son and daughter are living their best life

Whenever I feel like I've had enough, I come back and see what this gentleman has been through and realise how fortunate I am to have a healthy little lady in my life, and the importance of being there for her. Not everyone gets that chance to see through that deal, and I commend this man Mark for continuing for his other children. I hope you find happiness sir.

You can tell Robbie was an amazing chid and would have gone on to be an amazing adult. I cant get over this video it has broken me. To the dad if you ever read this you are amazing and im so sorry for your losses.

My Dad died from cancer last year, it was just unrealistic and horrific. I now see life differently and think people waste too much time working to collect frivilous stuff. I think its more important to take the precious time we have here to really live and enjoy life rather than just on this mindless consumer treadmill. I want to ride my bike and camp and enjoy the natural world.

My 11 year old son was diagnosed with a brain tumor this year. I am so blessed and I thank God everyday it’s a benign tumor! It’s about 3 centimeters long and the pediatrician promises me that the tumor will never grow and that it won’t turn into cancer🙏 If my son ever has headaches or problems, then he will need rechecked. My heart breaks so bad for this man and his beautiful family!💔🙏

@macbuff81 5 лет назад

In 2008 my mom died of leukemia. She was also a very caring person who put everyone else first. Something that at the end worked against her. My dad had just died a few years prior cancer as well though his came from abusing alcohol. Thank you for sharing this story. It does not diminish the loss of our loved ones but it does help knowing we are not alone in this grief. That young boy was incredibly brave too. For him to know that he would never experience life and yet still manage to love and smile is incredible.

I just watched this. I am American living in Kentucky. I also had cancer, but it was caught early enough. Your story is very touching and heart breaking. You have to be strong for your daughter and yourself. I understand how hard it is. I also lost my mom to cancer. You told your son right, he will be in heaven with his mom waiting. Believe it or not, me and my father both are Christians and we both saw my mom in the house.. she appeared to us smiling.. we looked in shocked.. and she vanished. Heaven is REAL. Jesus Christ IS real. Heaven IS real. you will join them all. Thank you for sharing your story. God Bless

My battle with Lung cancer started 2 years ago, after so many Chemo, Radiation and other natural therapy treatments that i took just to cure my cancer, it all did not work for my condition. I have been treating this disease for the past 2 years, but today i am here telling the world about my final victory over Lung cancer with the help of Dr Hervey through his Natural herbal products and roots to Cure and heal me completely from Lung cancer within the range of 21 days that I used the herbal medication. This is a breakthrough in my family with so much Joy in our lives today, i do really appreciate all the help and contribution from every member of my family for all they did for me. And if you have any kind of cancer diseases, there is no need to waste money on Chemo or Radiation, or allowing Doctors to waste their time on you instead why don’t you Go get Herbal products from Dr Harvey from UK/Africa cancer research centre.. And he also cures and heal other diseases and any type of cancer You can think cancer and so many. You can also text him on whatsapp +1 475 522 1289 This is medication that totally kill cancer completely...
