BRAVE youngster Alex Logan has lost his fight against a rare brain tumour.
The Prestonpans youngster, aged six, died at Rachel House Children's Hospice on Thursday, nine months after he was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).
His grandmother Susan Logan broke the news to friends and supporters who had helped raise funds for the family, on social media yesterday.
She said: "It’s with the most broken heart to update everyone that our gorgeous grandson Alex passed away on the 21/06/18 after a courageous fight with DIPG - he’s the most bravest and strongest wee boy that brought so much joy to everyone he met.
"We can’t thank everyone enough with all the fundraising that allowed Alex and his family to make some amazing memories - what an amazing community we live in.
"What’s left in the fund will be divided to charities that have helped Alex."
The funeral will be held on Thursday at Prestongrange Parish Church, in Prestonpans, at 10.15am and family and friends are invited to attend with bright colours to be worn.
