Overview
- Garbutt, who plays PC Ryan Power on the BBC drama, posted from a Northern Ireland Hospice bed on Tuesday, thanking supporters and saying he will stop sharing his GoFundMe link.
- His fundraiser remains live in his bio and has raised nearly £85,000 toward a £90,000 goal to support his wife, Louise, and their baby daughter, Saoirse.
- Earlier this month he said scans showed the cancer had spread quickly, and he told followers he is entering the last stages of his life.
- Diagnosed in 2021, he later underwent extensive surgery that removed 27 lymph nodes, then disclosed a Stage IV diagnosis in August 2024 shortly before his daughter’s birth.
- The hospice setting focuses on symptom relief and family support rather than curative treatment, allowing him to prioritize comfort and time with loved ones.
