A teenager's wish to help other children living with cancer has been made a reality by his family two years after he sadly passed away.
Josh Smith lost his battle with Osteosarcoma - bone cancer - on May 5, 2021, at the age of 15. Today would have been his 18th birthday, which he would have celebrated with his twin sister Libby.
During his 15 month fight with Osteosarcoma, the "kind, selfless and inspirational" teen, from Monkseaton, told his family he wanted to help other children diagnosed with cancer to have a holiday with their family. And now his family are on a mission to fulfil that wish by setting up a charity, Josh's Osteosarcoma Support and Help Foundation (JOSH), in his memory.
