Cancer Research UK and TK Maxx is calling on people in the South West to nominate a Little Star.

Last year 22 children received the Award.

Unlike many other children’s awards, there is no judging panel because Cancer Research UK and TK Maxx believe that each and every child who faces cancer is extra special.

Boy band and MOBO Award winners JLS said: “The Little Star Awards are so fantastic in helping to recognise the brave young heroes who are fighting the disease and are also crucial in helping to raise awareness of the advances being made in children’s cancer.

“We’d really like to encourage anyone who knows a brave young person to nominate them for an award and we’d also ask everyone to please help raise as much funds as possible to fight the disease, to give all young people the possibility of a bright future.”
