An aspiring dancer's mum has told how the youngster was left in crippling pain from a rare disease that attacked her bones.
Mia Oldroyd, from east Lancashire, had been dancing since she was four and had dreams of taking it up professionally but her world came crashing down when she became ill, reported YorkshireLive.
Last year, aged 12, she began suffering pain in her left hip, which progressed to her walking with a limp and an X-ray found that she had late-onset Pethes' disease, which affects the hip joint in children.
