E202 - Ashley Cain: Everything losing my daughter taught me

Ashley Cain is a former professional footballer and TV personality. In 2020, his 8 week old daughter Azaylia Cain was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia. During Azaylia’s battle with cancer, Ashley and Azaylia’s mum, Safiyya, raised over £1 million in 24 hours for her health care. After her death in April 2021, at just 8 months old, Ashley and Safiyya set up ‘The Azaylia Foundation’, which supports families and provides memorable experiences for children fighting cancer.

In this episode, Ashley shares with Jake and Damian everything the life and loss of Azaylia has taught him. They discuss how the struggle can make us appreciate the small moments, staying present and connected to those in our life. Ashley shares how “even though my heart is broken into a million pieces, that’s a million pieces of love I can share with others in this world”.
