Reggie was diagnosed with a brain tumour aged just four. Now, he’s back at school, cheering on Leeds United and enjoying life with his friends.

Reggie needed 12 hours of surgery to remove the tumour and then faced gruelling treatment, including chemotherapy and five weeks of proton beam therapy. After surgery, he couldn’t walk, talk or swallow, but with incredible determination and support from his family, he learned it all again.

He was nominated for a Star Award by his mum Kirsty. She says: “We’re so incredibly proud of Reggie for staying as cheerful as possible through the darkest of times. It’s great to see him back at school now and loving life.”

Know a child or young person who’s shown incredible strength through cancer? Nominate them for a Star Award today and help us celebrate their courage.
