Mum's 'heartbreak' as son to spend Christmas away from family

Lewis Wright was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in July 2020, just four days before his 12th birthday. The Birkdale High School pupil then endured months of chemotherapy treatment at Alder Hey before he was declared cancer free in March 2021.
