A 13-year-old boy who raised thousands of pounds for charity after being diagnosed with leukaemia has shared his joy at being given the all-clear. Hughie, whose surname has not been disclosed, described the moment he received the good news as 'amazing'.
In a tearful video, Hughie thanked his best friend Freddie, who played a key role in the fundraising efforts. The pair appeared on BBC Breakfast to recount the emotional moment the all-clear was confirmed.
Hughie said Freddie had been a 'rock' throughout his treatment and fundraising. The two boys have raised significant funds for blood cancer charities, with Hughie's family expressing gratitude for the support they have received.
Hughie's story comes amid wider awareness of childhood leukaemia, with ongoing investigations into cancer clusters in areas such as Corby. However, Hughie's case is unrelated to those probes.
