Snooker stars visit cancer unit

Every year in the South West 200 young people, between the ages of 16 and 24 are diagnosed with cancer. But if they're over 16 they're treated on adult wards.

Now though, the first specialist teenage cancer unit is being built in the region and work should be completed next year. Professional snooker player, Jack Liz-oww-ski Lisowski, had cancer when he was a teenager.

Today he visited the site with former world champion Judd Trump. Here's our Bristol reporter, Katie Rowlett.

Construction of the first specialist teenage cancer unit in the South West looks set to be completed on time in 2014.

Teenage Cancer Trust Ambassador and World snooker player Jack Lisowski was given an exclusive look at the site in Bristol this morning alongside fellow snooker player Judd Trump.

Cheltenham born Jack was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma aged 16 so knows how important this specialist unit will be.

West Country snooker players Judd Trump and Jack Lisowski will pay a visit to the site of a new £2.5m specialist cancer unit in Bristol.

They'll be joined by former young cancer patients and ambassadors from the Teenage Cancer Trust.

They'll be seeing how construction is coming along since plans were unveiled in May.
