The parents of Alfie Evans have told Radio City News they’ll never stop fighting for their little boy, as they get set to give evidence at his right to life hearing.
Kate James, 20, and her 21-year-old partner Tom Evans are challenging medics who say little Alfie's life support should be ended.
The couple want to take the child, who is in a deep coma, to the Vatican-linked Bambino Gesu Paediatric Hospital in Rome for treatment which may prolong his life.
But the boy's medical team, at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, believes that continuing life support is "unkind, unfair and inhumane'' and says ventilation that helps him breathe should be withdrawn.
The medics say none of 20 month-old Alfie's senses are intact, there is no hope for a cure and further treatment is "futile''.
The court case, being heard at the High Court in Liverpool, is in its second week
