A family has set up a fundraiser after a 28-year-old husband and dad lost his fight with cancer just three weeks before his daughter was born.

Jonathon Wells, 28, of Clay Cross, passed away on New Year’s Eve after losing his fight with the disease, just 21 days before his daughter Ophelia, was born.

Sarah Wells, 30, Jonathon’s wife, said: “He was so excited to become a dad. I think it kept him fighting longer. The diagnosis was a shock. I found out I was pregnant the same day that he was diagnosed with cancer. It was a nice morning and a rubbish afternoon.
