A THIRTEEN-year-old boy who lost both his granddads to cancer is making his family proud after raising close to £800 for the charity that supported them through the difficult time.

Luke Folley-Davey, from Wallasey, organised magicians, impressionists, musicians and comedians for the charity night in Bromborough earlier this month.

The Mosslands pupil started raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support when his granddad Roy died in September 2008.

Then, in 2013, his granddad Ken died after battling bowel cancer.

“When my granddad was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the whole of our family was turned upside down,” said Luke.

“When he was diagnosed, Macmillan contacted by granddad Ken and helped them throughout the time, from going to see them every day to check on them or to give them their medication.

“When my granddad Ken died on February 11, 2013, Macmillan was there all along the way.”

The fundraising night, which took place at Knockaloe Hall on February 7, raised £794.09 for the charity.

Luke added: “The reason I support Macmillan Cancer Support is because I would really like to show my appreciation towards them for everything they have done for both of my granddads - and how they comforted my nan Pam and my nan Barb was very astonishing.”

Great auntie Janet Sumner told the Globe of Luke’s passion for charity work.

She said: “We are all so very proud of Luke, he has done this off his own back and as a 13-year-old boy it’s amazing – both his granddads would be so proud.”

Luke was helped by best friend Ben Williams in organising the charity night, which saw football memorabilia and signed prints raffled.

Janet added: “We want to show all the community how children can raise awareness and to do what Luke did for both his granddads – he was wonderful.”
