When businessman Peter Done was visiting the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital this summer he met a young patient. Ava Le Blanc captured his heart.
She had the same name and was the same age as his own granddaughter - but had spent most of her ten years in and out of hospital. When she was just two and a half, Ava was diagnosed with a brain tumour. She had surgery but it returned and she became ill again when she was five. The radiotherapy she required had side effects, but through it all she kept her smile.
And, on the same day of his visit to the hospital that he met Ava, Peter phoned his company's HQ and told a colleague she had inspired him to raise another £1m on top of the £2m his firm and staff and already donated to the hospital.
