We often feature our wonderful CHECT mums in our stories, and we feel it’s important to recognise those amazing dads and grandads out there who go above and beyond to support their families as well.

For Father’s Day, we asked children (maybe with a bit of help) to nominate the special men in their life for an honorary CHECT Champion Award. Congratulations to the awesome dads below who were nominated, each of you will receive a special CHECT Champion certificate!

Dominic

“Went above and beyond for our family when our son had cancer thank you for everything “

“Our dad is my hero, who has the biggest heart. Our dad gives up everything for us, he has shown us how to stay strong through tough times and how to stay strong as a family. Because of dad we are strong and united as siblings and we love his very much.”

“Gaga is the best, he has been there by my side supporting me every step of my RB journey. He also buys me lots of toys (I may have him wrapped round my little finger) and takes us out on great days out and family trips with mummy and Nannie and now my baby Brucey too.
Thank you for everything you do for me Gaga goo goo. Love you millions xxx”.

Andrew

“My Daddy is my best friend, he is with me everywhere I go and makes me feel safe and happy. When we are at the hospital he finds all the best toys and when I wake up from my sleep he makes sure I have all my favourite treats. He is big and strong and he says I’m his hero, but he is mine too.” Franklin
