A six-year-old Gateshead boy and his family are celebrating after he received the all clear from a rare type of blood cancer.
On September 8 last year, Leland received a diagnosis of MDS cancer, a rare blood cancer that can turn into leukaemia. His mam Sarah had initially taken him to his GP when he developed a cough.
His devastated family were unable to provide bone marrow needed for the transplant due to none of them being a match. However, an unlikely show of support came from Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, who shared Leland's story to his 20+ million followers on Twitter.
