Eight-year-old Alfie Smith has Down’s syndrome and was diagnosed with leukaemia in February 2020. Alfie’s dad, Steve, works for Avon Tyres, supplying racing tyres to bike and sidecar racers around the world. Avon has supported Steve over the years, helping to raise thousands of pounds for Down’s syndrome charities. When Alfie was diagnosed with leukaemia, it was time to start Alfie’s All-Stars and support the work of other charities now vital in the youngter’s life. With help from friends, more than £10,000 has been raised since 2020 for the Down’s Syndrome Associatio­n, Young Lives vs Cancer, and the Bristol Children’s Hospital. After a rollercoas­ter 18 months, Alfie is making a good recovery and will hopefully be given the all-clear in April 2022. Charities have had it tough during the pandemic, so the money raised from the sale of the T-shirts will help out.
