The parents of a seven-year-old girl from Co Down have told of their devastation after what they believed to be bruises from gymnastics led to a heartbreaking diagnosis for their daughter.
Annabel, from Newtownards , was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia last year and is currently receiving maintenance treatment.
After starting back at school in 2021, Annabel suffered from several colds, coughs and an ear infection. Parents Tim and Sharon also noticed bruising on her shins.
