South Shields siblings set for Children's Cancer Run in memory of 'kindest, funniest' brother Ethan, 9

Less than a year after their brother Ethan died from a rare form of cancer, South Shields siblings Ellie and Evan are set to take part in this year's Children's Cancer Run in his honour to support charity Children's Cancer North.

Ethan, who was nine, died in August 2021. He had been diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma just nine months earlier after going to hospital complaining of toothache.
