Episode 33: Dad's Hour with Mick Coyle, Iain Christie, Sam Avery & Matt Dawson
We done things a bit differently on Dad's Hour this week. We wanted to take a look at the highs and lows of being a Dad after we received the amazing news that Erin Cross is in remission following her Car-T cell treatment! Erin is a lovely 5 year old girl from Chester who needed to raise £100,000 to receive her treatment in Seattle to help with her battle with leukaemia. Erin's Dad, Anthony, told Mick of how overwhelmed he was by the generosity of people who have helped Erin and how ecstatic he was that she is in remission.
We also caught up with Rugby legend and Question of Sport star, Matt Dawson, who told us of his struggles as a Dad. Matt's son suffered from meningitis and Matt wanted to come on to Dad's Hour to tell his story and raise awareness about this terrible disease.
