A fundraiser has been launched for Reece and his family in order to help them make special memories together in the future, along with helping them with their upcoming wedding.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Phatbox Bakery, said that they were keen to hold the fundraiser at the school to support Reece and his family.
The owner of the bakery said: "Our children go to the same school as Reece's and we have been heartbroken to hear of his cancer diagnosis and wanted to see if we could do something to help him and his family.
"I have been in his children's shoes as my dad battled cancer for 14 years when I was a child and I know how hard it can be on everyone in the family. I just want to be able to do something that can give them a bit of a boost and make happy memories together than they can cherish for the rest of their lives.
"In order to do this we have arranged with Dundonald Primary School to have a special bake sale on Tuesday, March 18, and are encouraging as many people as possible to come down and give their support to Reece and Lauren at this very difficult time."
