Dad’s a credit to tragic Alfie

HAVING fought tirelessly for his severely disabled son Alfie following the NHS’s decision to turn off the little boy’s life-support machine on Monday, Tom Evans has finally agreed to build bridges with the NHS.

He has been praised for his articulate voice and intelligent grasp of the issues surrounding his son during months of High Court appeals. Quite a feat from a 21-year- old working- class Liverpool lad who left school at 16 to become a plasterer in his dad’s business.

Tom Evans proves courage and cleverness know no social barriers when it comes to fighting for every last breath of your child’s life.
