Teenage Cancer Trust do 'amazing stuff'

Tayla Colling was diagnosed with leukaemia, a cancer of the blood, three years ago. She was helped through the process by the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The trust, which is now raising it's profile in Cumbria, aims to help young people through the whole process.

It was a difficult time for Tayla and her family as she battled the illness, underwent rounds of chemotherapy and lost her hair.

Now 16 years old, Tayla has been in remission for two years and welcomes the fact the the trust are raising their profile in Cumbria:

A regional fundraising board hopes to put back some of the money into hospital units, for example in Newcastle where Tayla was treated.
