Monty is a father who fundraises in memory of his son Archie. Archie was diagnosed with DIPG (a terminal brain tumour) in February 2021 following an MRI in November 2020 for an unrelated illness. At the time, he was symptom-free but underwent 30 courses of Radiotherapy at UCLH to reduce the tumour size.
On 7th January 2023, his family started staying at Little Havens Childrens Hospice, as Archie had deteriorated further and with their amazing help we were able to spend time with him using their facilities. It was only on his last day that he was unable to leave his bed, and sadly passed on 26th January 2023.
Monty talks to Tim about his bike ride challenges in memory of Archie, he is truly inspirational.
