A Greater Manchester Police officer has launched a charity to support families of sick children in memory of his six-year-old son who died following a short battle with sepsis.
PC Dave Fenton and his wife Jane lost their 'kind and inspiring' son William in November 2019. William was born with Total Intestinal Aganglionosis Hirschsprungs Disease, which affects the bowel and other organs.
He was taken to hospital in October 2019 after developing sepsis, but passed away six weeks later. William's death has left a 'huge hole' in their lives, his heartbroken dad said.
He spent much of his short life in hospital, which was often 'lonely and stressful' for the family. It is something that has touched all our lives.
