Hazy Richardson, three, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of the cancer at 18 months and her only hope was a stem cell transplant.

McFly drummer Harry Judd fronted the search for a donor, highlighte­d by the Mirror.

A match was found but the transplant failed and Hazy was given just six months to live.

The Anthony Nolan charity put out a new appeal and a second successful match was found in October with just weeks to spare.

Mum Alice, 38, from Bishop’s Stortford, Herts, who has two other children, said: “We have so much to be thankful for.”
