As little Ava excitedly opens her Christmas presents on Christmas morning, her devoted parents Charlene and Marc Le Blanc will be treasuring every magical second.
Every parent loves to see their children squealing with excitement and joy, but for Charlene and Marc every Christmas feels like an extra special gift - as Ava, now eleven, was diagnosed with a brain tumour as a toddler and was not expected to reach the age of five.
