Stephen Naylor, Chair of the Nick Smith Foundation and Hadyn and Georgia’s Uncle, said: “There isn’t a day that passes when Hadyn and Georgia don’t miss their daddy and I know he would be incredibly proud of them, just as we all are.

"These beautiful pictures, drawn by them in memory of Nick, make for perfect Christmas Cards and we hope as many people as possible buy a pack so they can share them with family and friends.

“All the money raised will go to towards the work the Foundation does to support other children who have had to face, or are facing, the death of a parent along with our efforts to support research into the disease which killed Nick, and kills too many, MND.”
