A WONDERFUL father with a terminal illness hopes to spend his final weeks making special memories with his beautiful newborn and wife.
Dave Wakefield from Bracknell, also known as 'Little Dave' has been battling Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) a rare and aggressive cancer in the intestine.
The 38-year-old worked at The Silver Birch pub in Bracknell for about 15 years.

Unfortuantely, his treatment is no longer responsive so Dave is at home, where he hopes to spend as much time as possible with his wife Jacqui and newborn son Harry.
Jordan Ward has set up a fundraising appeal in his name, hoping to raise £4,000 to cover funeral costs.
She said: "I’ve known Dave for 11 years. He is kind, caring, a wonderful husband and new daddy to baby Harry, he will do anything to help anyone.

"I hope to provide Dave's family with the much needed comfort that when the time comes, they will not need to worry about funeral expenses. I do not want them to even worry about having to pay for it. I’d rather any money they do have go towards their newborn."
As well as setting up a Go Fund Me Page, there is a donation pot at the Silver Birch pub.
Over the coming weeks there will be fundraising events posted on the pubs Facebook page to get people to spare some change.
