When Harry Budd began complaining of pain in his right leg, his parents assumed it was either growing pains or a sporting injury.
The eight-year-old stopped playing for his local football team and stayed home in a bid to recover. But when the pain persisted to the point where he could no longer walk, his parents knew something was very wrong.
Manchester United super fan Harry, who lives in New Mills, on the edge of the Peak District, was taken to see a doctor on November 10. The appointment came after his family received a phone call from his school saying Harry had been crying in agony.
