A "thankful" young man who went through years of gruelling treatment as a child was inspired to give something back.
In 2006 Cian McGrath began to feel more tired than usual and "bruises came out of nowhere". At the age of six, he was diagnosed with leukaemia which he said came as a "shock" to his family. He underwent four gruelling years of treatment, which ended in 2010 when he was 10.
Now aged 22, Cian is studying medicine at university - but it was at his placement at the oncology department of Newcastle hospital that hit home to him. Reminding him of his own cancer journey, and his time in and out of Alder Hey, Cian said it inspired to make a difference and give back to those that helped him.
