Speaking at the event, Carla said:

“It is hard to believe it has been a two years since the bright shining star of the County Down, little Adam passed away. In his 9 short years on this earth he faced many difficult days and challenges but during that time Adam made a profound impact on so many people with his positive fight against cancer. While Adam is no longer with us physically, his legacy lives on powerfully within this community and once again at the third and final walk the attendance is a testament to just how much he meant to so many people.

I want to commend Adam’s parents, David and Sara, I count them as great friends and pray daily for their very difficult journey. No parent should ever have to bury their child, but in the midst of their grief, they have found incredible strength and have dedicated themselves to campaigning for others facing the same battle they fought with Adam. It has been a privilege to assist them in some of this work, and I am hopeful that I can use my position in Westminster to help ensure we make practical changes to support families and children in similar situations. 

This was a wonderful and poignant event, and it reflects the strength of our community that so many turned out to support the Watsons and raise funds for B Positive. Adam, our shining light, continues to shine brightly in our hearts.”
