Zac's father, Luke Staples, expressed the devastating impact of losing his son: "The loss of Zac is a hole that will never be filled. It's always this element of Why is he not here? He should be playing in the pool, he should be going to kids' clubs." This deep mourning is compounded by the parents' inability to share in normal parenting experiences, such as attending a parents' evening or discussing their child's progress with teachers.
Mr. Staples emphasized the need for better pediatric cancer research, saying, "Hopefully new research will find a cure or at least a treatment that isn't going to have such a detrimental effect on the child." This underlines a desire for advancements that reduce the harsh consequences of treatment on young patients.
