ITV's Text Santa appeal
ITV is launching its annual text Santa charity campaign to raise money in the run up to Christmas.
Text Santa: How Brian House helped Michael
In the final report on ITV's Text Santa appeal we meet a remarkable young man who's fought back from a rare condition to be an inspiration to others. Michael Willacy from Blackpool suddenly collapsed whilst on holiday after his brain swelled causing permanent damage.
But he still managed to get himself 5 GCSE's this year and is studying for a career in IT. Michael says he wouldn't be the young man he is today without the support of his local hospice.
Our reporter Sarah Rogers went to meet him:
