Thousands of Christmas cards from around the world have been sent to Bradley Lowery.

The five-year-old from Blackhall in County Durham has Neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer.

His parents received the the devastating news last week that treatment in America, which had been funded by public donations, will not save his life because the tumour has grown.

His story prompted a campaign for Bradley to receive Christmas cards to make his Christmas extra special, as well as raise awareness of Neuroblastoma.

Close family friend Lynn Murphy organised the Christmas card campaign. Her garage is now home to sacks full of cards, letters and gifts. Each of them opened, read and hugely appreciated.
