A tight-knit community is rallying around the parents of a young boy who died just days before Christmas from an aggressive cancer.
William Wheeler, from Bundaberg, Queensland, lost his battle with neuroblastoma - a cancer that develops from nerve cells - on December 15.
The two-year-old boy had been fighting the cancer since he was just 11-months-old, never experiencing a birthday outside hospital.
William s mother Lauren Wheeler said her son was such an amazing little boy and he was brave until the very end .
In a Facebook post following William s death, Lauren noted it had been two weeks since we watched you take your last breath .

BEDFORD – Anyone who has walked through the hallway where the state championship team photos adorn the walls, anyone who has stared up at the banners waving softly in the northeast corner of BNL Fieldhouse, knows the impact of Austin “Pete” Pritchett.
He’s the Godfather of Bedford North Lawrence basketball, the Hall of Fame coach, the giant gentleman who directed the Stars to two state championships and established the program as one of Indiana’s best. Everything linked to the tradition of BNL centers on the bear of a man who towered over his kids and demanded their best.
