Through my treatment there were a lot of tough times, but also some good ones too, this is thanks to charities like Impact Young Heroes who support young people with cancer and people like you who fundraise and donate to make a BIG difference to help young people with cancer enjoy their good days through very difficult treatment regimes. In this month’s Katie’s corner I would like to share a few of my photo memories with you.
