IT IS a hard thing indeed to<br />
watch someone lose their battle to<br />
cancer.<br />
But imagine being an eightyear-old<br />
and watching your best<br />
mate only a year younger than<br />
yourself succumb to the horrid<br />
disease.<br />
That is the story about Hunter<br />
Allen and his mate Tyler Moore.<br />
Like so many kids, they met<br />
through their mothers and shared<br />
a love of games such as Lego,<br />
Minecraft. But then cancer came<br />
along and claimed Tyler.<br />
Last week, Hunter had his head<br />
shaved this week in honour of his<br />
friend. It was made even more<br />
special, that the person holding<br />
the clippers was Tyler’s mum, Sarah<br />
Moore, and it was done in the<br />
hall where the funeral was held.<br />
I’ve no shame in admitting it<br />
brought a tear to the eye. Hunter,<br />
you are a champ.<br />
