“If we can do one small thing to make their situation any easier, then we’re honouring Adam’s memory”
Over 200 special suitcases are on their way to children with cancer in Northern Ireland and will be distributed in memory of courageous Co Down boy Adam Watson, who died a year ago after battling acute myeloid leukaemia.
“The suitcases were my idea. Adam was diagnosed in Newry on a Monday morning when he was seven,” she said. “That means you’re not allowed home, so we bought a suitcase and always kept it packed. Any time Adam was admitted into hospital, the suitcase came with us. The nightmare began for the Watsons in October 2019 when Adam developed a rash on his arm before getting a sore throat.
Sara explained: “As Adam was born with O positive he had to have a blood transfusion to change his blood type to B positive; that’s how the charity got its name.” “The suitcases are a vital part of helping children with cancer and their families in Adam’s memory. We’ll be giving them to the children’s hospital, the clinic and the children’s cancer unit charity,” she said.
