Leo is just five years old and is fighting an aggressive brain tumour called Medulloblastoma.
In July 2025, shortly after his fourth birthday, Leo underwent major brain surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital before going through months of intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Sadly, his family says recent scans have shown that the cancer has continued to progress despite treatment.
Doctors have now recommended a stronger course of chemotherapy in the hope of giving Leo more precious time with his family.
Through everything he has faced, Leo has continued to show incredible courage. At heart, he is still a little boy who wants to play, cuddle his family and enjoy the things he loves. And one of those things is Spider-Man.
Leo’s family and friends are now doing everything they can to make the time ahead as special as possible, including creating memories for Leo, his mum and dad, and his big sister Bonnie, who shares an incredibly close bond with him.
A fundraiser has been created to help towards Leo’s care, potential treatments and special experiences for the family.
Donate or read Leo’s full story here:
And something very special is also being organised locally.
A Christmas Day for Leo is being created on 3rd October, with Corina’s Cool Kids Parties bringing Santa and Misadventures in Motherhood putting together Christmas boxes to help make the day as magical as possible.
They’re particularly looking for Spider-Man-themed gifts, and would also love to hear from any local businesses that may be able to contribute a gift, experience or helping hand.
Items can also be donated through the wishlist by clicking here.
If you’re unable to donate, sharing Leo’s story could still make a huge difference by helping it reach somebody who can.
Let’s show this family just how much love and support there is here in Milton Keynes.
Sending Leo, Bonnie and the whole family so much love.
