Schoolgirl does BBC diabetes doc to help other children

[Northerner]

A SCHOOLGIRL who is on a mission to find a cure for diabetes is helping other children to understand the condition as part of a BBC television programme.

Phoebe Maddison, of Ground-well West, appeared in Same But Different on BBC 2 this morning, which is designed for children to watch in assembly to teach them about youngsters with medical conditions, disabilities or learning differences.

The St Catherine?s Primary School pupil, who is celebrating her eighth birthday today, was diagnosed with type one diabetes three years ago and said she took part in the programme because she wanted everyone to understand diabetes.

The children who participated, regardless of their condition, all need a medal for what they have to endure. They all seemed very positive.🙂 It does bring it home to you how adaptable kids can be.
