After Finn McEwen, 14, was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome in 2015, his family were told he would need a stem cell transplant.
A rare form of blood cancer where you don't have enough healthy blood cells, myelodysplastic syndrome can affect people of any age but is most common in adults over 70, according to the NHS. Finn's mum Carole said her 'whole world was shaken' after the diagnosis.
However, Finn's case picked up traction, which saw him meet players from Everton FC. Fortunately, Finn had a transplant a few months later which was a success.
