Nick Hungerford's charity for bereaved children, Elizabeth's Smile, is named after his daughter.
By Faarea MasudTech entrepreneur Nick Hungerford, who has terminal bone cancer, says his two-year-old daughter inspired him to set up a charity for bereaved children.
"She is so caring for me. She bought a stethoscope and checks me every time I come back from the hospital," Mr Hungerford told the BBC's Today programme.. The firm was bought by JP Morgan in 2021 for a reported £700m.Mr Hungerford has Ewing sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. He was first diagnosed in 2019 when he felt a pain in his right thigh, and had an operation to remove his femur, but the cancer returned at the end of 2021.
It will also help connect bereaved children to a network that has been set up by a parent, so that when the parent dies, the child can continue to receive advice and guidance around things like which university to go to, or where to work.
