A heartbroken family from County Durham has vowed to keep the promise they made to a "popular and lovable" son and friend who tragically passed away at the age of 20.
Tom Linton from Chester-le-Street was diagnosed with melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer, in January 2020 when he was 19 and passed away months later in May, just after his 20th birthday.
But the selfless son asked his family to grant his final wish - to promise him they would raise awareness of melanoma so that no other person would have to go through what he went through.
