AT JUST eight years old, Phoebe Maddison has already won a special award for her dedication to finding a cure for diabetes.
Phoebe, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes four years ago, has raised hundreds of pounds since she started fundraising for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation last year.
The St Catherine?s Primary School pupil has now been given the Child of Courage Award in recognition of her achievements, and it was presented to her by TV personality Kerry Katona.
Phoebe?s father, Antony, said he and his wife Michelle, who is recovering from a brain tumour, were proud of the youngster?s achievements.
