I am Reece's ....
In Loving Memory Of Reece Walker-Sharp Age 14 Years.
A brave teenager who turned down the chance of a second lung transplant has lost his fight for life.
In January last year doctors gave Reece Walker-Sharp only three months to live as he had an incurable lung condition. But he astounded them by defying the odds again until finally passing away peacefully surrounded by his family at Martin House Hospice.
The 14-year-old, of Holme Wood, Bradford, who had stunned Great Ormond Street specialists by recovering from his first transplant in double-quick time, had refused to give in to his illness to the last, said his grandad Brian Walker.
He said: “Reece fought it all the way. He didn’t just climb over obstacles his illness put in front of him, he smashed his way through them. He is an inspiration.If Reece had gone ahead with the second transplant in 2009 he would have been the first child in Europe to have undergone it.
“Doctors said the survival rate had improved but it was still fraught with risks,” Mr Walker said. “They only offered it to him because he had recovered so quickly from the first one.
“At first he agreed to it because that was typical Reece, always thinking about what other people wanted, but then he changed his mind. He didn’t want to go through it all again
