A LANTERN lighting event has taken place in Falmouth’s Kimberley Park for a poorly baby.

Little Bailey Lee Buckley was born weighing 4lb 1oz and with no pulmonary artery in his heart. He has been at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children since his birth in November last year.

Since then friends and family of Bailey’s parents, Leah Lucas and father Anthony Buckley, have been holding fundraising events and last week were in Kimberley Park to give their support ahead of an important operation.

 

Around 20 close friends held balloons and lit lanterns that they then floated into the sky, in the hope their love and wishes would reach Bailey in Bristol. The event was arranged by Sabina Hall.

Writing on the Facebook page Wish Upon a Star Bailey Button, as Bailey is affectionately known, his mum Leah said: “Our little boy is a fighter and he has done so well.”
