An 'adventurous' teenage boy who is 'full of enthusiasm for life' started losing his balance and limping. Days later, his parents were told he had up to a year left to live.
Arnold Chappin, 13, was taken to see his GP by mum Ruth, originally from Walkden, after he had started falling over and limping at the beginning of June.
With Arnold, also known as Arnie, being 'adventurous and clumsy', parents Ruth and Brett could never have imagined the devastating news they would later receive.
