Hughie was diagnosed with Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in 2020 aged just ten and is now cancer free after a gruelling three and a half years of chemotherapy at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
Hughie and his dad Kieron talk about their story as a family, and highlight the importance of the work Cure Leukaemia is doing to launch a paediatric trials network which will deliver world-class, innovative and practice changing clinical trials to improve outcomes for children with leukaemia throughout the UK.
