A NEWPORT tot who spent his life fighting end-stage kidney failure has lost his battle with the disease.
Four-year-old Leo Jones, died of a cardiac arrest at Cardiff’s University Hospital of Wales, on Thursday.
The Alway Primary School pupil touched the hearts of Argus readers who donated more than £3,000 to pay for a special Christmas trip to Butlins. The Ringland toddler was given a ten per cent chance of survival when he was born with a tumour on his spine, but he defied the odds and was the face of Kidney Wales Walk for Life 2009 to help raise money for other patients.
