Boy, 11, wants to play with Luke Littler ‘before it is too late’

Leanne added her son was now struggling to play now and it was “now or never – before it is too late”.

Arron Taylor of Derian House Children’s Hospice, which supports Harry and his family said: “Anyone who knows Harry knows there’s one thing guaranteed to get him smiling… darts.

“He’s absolutely obsessed. We’ve loved seeing him throw himself into the sport, joining Blackburn Youth Darts Academy and even winning his first tournament.

“But as Harry’s condition has progressed, it’s become much harder for him to play the game he loves.”

Taylor said it would “mean the world” to Harry to have a game with Littler.

“We’d all love to see it happen because we know just how much it’d mean to him and his family. It’s something they will never forget.”
