A SCHOOLBOY from Ellesmere Port who has spent the last year battling a life-threatening brain tumour has been nominated for a Your Champions award.
Seven-year-old Finn Kinsella, of Stoke Gardens, Ellesmere Port, is now on the road to recovery after undergoing specialist radiotherapy in America earlier this year.
The treatment is a form of radiotherapy only available in the USA, which was hoped to give Finn an 80% survival chance.
Happily, his parents say the treatment went well and Finn’s tumour has not grown any bigger.
The Our Lady’s Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School pupil returned to school before term ended and, although still has to have regular scans every three months, is slowly getting back to normal.
Earlier this year Finn’s friends and family rallied together through various charity fundraising events, raising £8,000 to support his family throughout the gruelling treatment.
His mother Anna said it was ‘lovely’ that Finn had been nominated in the Young Champion of the Year category.
She said: “He really is such a little hero – a superstar who just gets on with everything. He’s so brave.”
