Henry's story
Five-year-old Henry is fascinated by clocks and his nickname in the Starlight Express Room is 'Clockman!'
Sadly, hospital has consumed Henry's life since he was diagnosed with Stage 5 Nephroblastoma (Wilms Tumour kidney cancer) at the age of 5.
“We were utterly devastated,” said Henry’s mum, Jade. “It was like someone pulled the rug out from under us.”
Henry endured critical surgery and gruelling chemotherapy in the months that followed his diagnosis, making him sick and exhausted.
Hospital was a scary and lonely place for Henry.
Thankfully, Captain Starlight’s arrival brought fun, crafts and games to help Henry forget about being in hospital.
Whenever Henry visited the Starlight Express Room, Captain Starlight encouraged his imagination. Together they made craft clocks and invented a superhero game where Henry became Clock Man!
“Because of Captain Starlight, we have so many positive memories in hospital, despite Henry going through cancer and all the pain and procedures,” said Henry’s mum Jade.
Captain Starlight, made hospital a happier place for Henry, helping him get through challenging times.
“Starlight has been an absolute game-changer for Henry and our family.” - Jade, Henry’s mum.
