Brave Bradley Lowery is all smiles as he enjoys ‘brilliant’ beach holiday after his heartbroken parents were told he has just weeks to live
BRAVE Bradley Lowery is all smiles as he enjoys his "brilliant" beach holiday just weeks after his parents were told he doesn't have long left to live.
The six-year-old cancer fighter enjoyed his family getaway with Gemma and Carl Lowery along the sunny East Yorkshire coastline.
The devoted parents who have been on a parade of nonstop funding said they continue "making the most of everything" at they visited Whitby on Thursday.
His mum Gemma, 35, posted a snap of him clutching a lollipop and said: "Bradley is having a brilliant time away and he has been very busy.
"We have had a trip to the beach, a day at the water park, a night at the new Haven site in Flamborough where they were fab with him and a trip to Whitby today.
"He is awake for about four to five hours a day which is plenty of time to have fun.
"We were told three weeks ago he had weeks to live and he is still going.
"I am so proud of him he is my little super star."
It comes as the England and Sunderland mascot's classmates performed a heart rending single in tribute to their terminally ill pal.
Year 1 pupils at the six-year-old’s school in Blackhall Colliery, County Durham, joined singing sister act Liv ‘n’ G for a special performance of his single Smile for Bradley.
It includes a special verse about the cancer-battling Sunderland mascot with the lyrics “Smile little superhero, smile may your pain be zero.”
“Smile is the perfect song for him and we’d love it to do well in the charts.
“The support we’ve had for it so far has been brilliant and if everyone who sent Bradley a Christmas card downloaded or streamed it, we might be able to reach that number 1 spot which is what we’re hoping for.”
She last week posted a photo of smiling Bradley behind the wheel of the car as the family headed of the trip.
She shared the devastating news next to a picture of the youngster, whose story of bravery has touched the nation.
This month it was revealed six-year-old Bradley, who is battling neuroblastoma, has just weeks to live.
Footballer Jermain Defoe - Bradley's "best friend" - revealed his pain at finding out best pal Bradley Lowery’s cancer was spreading fast – and that he doesn’t have long left to live.
The England striker texts the six-year-old’s mum first thing every morning for updates on the brave Sunderland lad.
Defoe struck up his friendship with Bradley back in September when the young cancer sufferer led out his beloved Sunderland against Everton at the Stadium of Light.
Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that most commonly affects babies and young children.
The disease develops from special nerve cells, known as neuroblasts, which get left behind from the child's development in the womb.
It mostly begins in the sufferer's adrenal glands located above the kidneys but can occur in the nerve tissue that runs along the spinal cord in the neck, chest, abdomen or pelvis.
The vicious illness can then spread to other organs like the bone, bone marrow, lymph nodes and skin.
