Miracle South Shields five-year-old has a 'twinkle in his eye' as he recovers from cancer

A football-mad five-year-old from South Shields was delighted to start school full-time last week as he continues his recovery from a tumour his mum spotted in his eye when he was just ten months old.

Jacob Tulley was just a baby when his mum, Danielle Scott, discovered the tumour. His treatment has been successful - and thanks to chemotherapy, laser therapy and cryotherapy his eye was saved, too. Now, along with his family, Jacob is backing a Cancer Research UK campaign with retailer TK Maxx to help boost research into childhood cancer.

The shopping chain run's the Give Up Clothes for Good campaign, and with sister Katie, mum Danielle, stepdad Ollie, dad Josh and stepmum Sharna Jacob is encouraging people to donate pre-loved clothes and homeware to help raise cash for Cancer Research UK.
