Part 1: Our child's cancer diagnosis and parenting w/ Paddy Richardson

In this episode, Charlie is joined by his very good friend Paddy Richardson.  Paddy is a successful businessman and married father of three.  

Rewind nine years and Paddy and his wife Alice, received the news that no parent would ever wish to get, that their child had cancer.  Their youngest daughter Hazel, only 18 months old at the time was diagnosed with a very rare form of leukemia called Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (JMML).

They discuss the whole experience first-hand.  From her initial diagnosis to the magical moment when she rang 'the bell' in Great Ormond Street Hospital two years later.  

They also explore the intense roller coaster of emotions experienced by himself as a parent, his wife and their eldest daughter Romy too.

This episode is for any parent or family who has had a child diagnosed with a serious illness, but also goes to show the value in being there for one another no matter what.
