Belfast mum opens up on how childhood cancer diagnosis impacts the whole family

A mum from Belfast has opened up on how a childhood cancer diagnosis impacts the whole family.

Catherine Maguire shared the story of her son Conor, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia at just 15 months old, as part of a Christmas campaign to help raise vital funds for the Children's Cancer Unit Charity.

The 'Save a Seat for Conor' campaign was launched by Conor and his elder brother Senán, and focuses on the impact a child cancer diagnosis can have on their siblings, and the importance of making sure they are also supported through treatment.
