Christopher's Smile

Sep 08, 2014, 10:59 AM

In recent days, the story of Ashya King, the five-year-old boy with cancer, has dominated the headlines. His parents had removed him from hospital in Southampton because they wanted him to have proton therapy. Well for one Surrey couple, this story really struck a chord. Kevin and Karen Capel from Lightwater lost their only son Christopher to a rare form of cancer just nine days before his 6th birthday. They believe there are many other families in a similar position to the parents of Ashya and that the publicity around this case could be a real moment for change. They set up Christopher's Smile in memory of their son. Here, Kevin and Karen tell their story to Danny Pike.
