'I have helped a children's hospital by raising £15.4 million.'

My name is Cameron and I am 10-years-old. When I was just one-year-old I was diagnosed with a rare blood illness called Evans Syndrome where I needed multiple blood and platelet transfusions.

Over the next few years I have endured harsh immunosuppressive treatments including, chemotherapy, immunoglobins and steroids.

My first bout of diabetes was steroid induced and lasted seven months, but three years ago it returned and I am now on insulin four times daily. I have raised nearly £80,000 for my hospital at Pendlebury and other charities.

Over the last two years I have helped the New Childrens Hospital Appeal, raising £15.4 million.

I recently won a prestigous award at the Celebration of Young People's Awards.  I just want to tell other children that life goes on when you have diabetes and you can achieve great things with your life.
