Teen left with one leg shorter than other after cancer battle to captain Scotland in cheer competition

A teenager who was diagnosed with cancer as a toddler and has one leg 3cm shorter than the other will be captain of Scotland's team at an international cheer competition. Summer Wroniecki, 14, was diagnosed with cancer a day after her third birthday.

She started Highland Dancing aged two-and-a-half, and proved to be a quick learner. After undergoing gruelling cancer treatment, Summer started learning cheer routines aged four years old.

Summer is still having physio after having several operations as part of her treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer which started in her muscles. She had her first hip operation on April 3 2015 but suffered a further setback a couple of months later when an inflatable slide she was playing on blew over and she broke her leg.
