Kim Posey is hoping her friends and family's fundraising efforts will keep her son's name going.
The mother of a boy who died from a highly aggressive brain tumour has said she is still coming to terms with how quickly she lost her son.His family from Whymondham, Leicestershire, were told there was nothing that could be done and he had two years to live.He had been accepted into a medical trial in Washington but when doctors in the US learned more about Lucas's radiotherapy treatment, the family were told he no longer met the criteria for the trial.
His mother Kim Posey said: "He rapidly went downhill really fast so you didn't have time to think you just did what you needed to do.Lucas moved into Rainbows Hospice in October and died two months later."I got there and climbed into bed with him and held him."Then I kissed him good night on the forehead then he went to sleep.
A tree has been planted in memory of Lucas and those that knew him are fundraising for Rainbows Hospice.Also, her daughter-in-law and one of Lucas's teachers was doing the Great North Run in September."He was a very strong character and if you knew him you would never forget him," said Ms Posey.
