We are sharing your kind messages with James when we can, and they truly mean so much. The support from the rallying and wider community has been overwhelming and deeply appreciated by everyone around James.
We will continue to provide updates when we can. Thank you for your continued compassion, respect, privacy and support to both families during this incredibly difficult time.”
