The Menai-Davis family’s world turned upside down when their 6-year-old son,

Hugh, passed away in September 2021.

Diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer,

Hugh bravely fought for six months,

even reaching the milestone of ringing the hospital bell after being declared cancer-free in May.

But their celebration was short-lived.

Just a few months later, the cancer returned with a devastating force.

What began as a seemingly harmless swollen stomach was first brushed off as a viral infection.

Yet, as the swelling persisted, it became clear something more serious was going on—

leading to the heartbreaking diagnosis that would change everything…

Despite the intense treatments, hospital visits, and emotional toll,

Hugh remained cheerful and strong, never complaining or losing hope.

His parents, Frances and Ceri, kept their pain hidden, determined to show him only love and strength.

Tragically, just three months after hearing he was in remission,

the cancer came back and Hugh passed away shortly after.

In his memory, the Menai-Davis family

now urges parents to trust their instincts and seek medical attention at the first sign of something unusual.

They’ve also launched the charity It’s Never You

, offering vital support to families with children battling cancer—a legacy of love born from unimaginable loss.
