The courage of children who have encountered cancer is to be recognised with a unique award backed by celebrities including Leona Lewis, the Jonas Brothers and athletics phenomenon Usain Bolt.
Cancer Research UK launched its annual Little Star Awards today in partnership with TK Maxx.
Relatives and friends of young cancer patients or survivors from across Lancashire are being urged to nominate them for special recognition.
Unlike many other children's awards, there is no judging panel because Cancer Research UK and TK Maxx believe every child who confronts cancer is extra special.
Each recipient will receive a £50 TK Maxx gift card, a shiny trophy and a certificate signed by stars from TV, music and sport.
Cancer Research UK funds research of potential new treatments for children's cancer via the Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
