The Alex Hulme Foundation has raised over £200,000 for research into children’s cancer since Alex passed away, just months after being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

It’s run by Alex’s parents Dave and Nicola, as well as brother Matt.

Wayne Shaw, owner of The Window Company, said: “We’re delighted to have been able to support this hugely worthwhile and local cause.”

Wayne added that the company had already selected Al Amyloidosis as its 2016 charity and that they were “brimming with fundraising ideas”.
