A TRAFFORD boy who has survived cancer enjoyed a special party held to salute the courage of all youngsters coping with the disease.

Five-year-old Harley Renshaw, from Stretford, was a guest of honour at the stars and space themed Cancer Research UK Kids and Teens Star Awards party, held in partnership with TK Maxx, at the Roof Gardens inLondon on Saturday.

The celebration, featuring a host of famous faces, was organised to help raise awareness of the charity’s groundbreaking work in the field of childhood cancer research and the urgent need to boost funds.

Harley was diagnosed with neuroblastoma - a childhood form of cancer - last year but after a year of treatment is now in remission.

He was one of 20 children from across the UK who came together as special ‘ambassadors’ to represent the 620 children who received Kids and Teens Star Awards over the past year.

He enjoyed an afternoon of galactic-inspired games and astronomical activities including experiments with dry ice, slime making, rocket launching and sampling freeze-dried astronaut ice-cream.

Harley and his family, also met a stellar line up of celebrities including Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins, former Pussycat doll Kimberly Wyatt and TV presenter Matt Johnson.

The day was rounded off with entertainment from CBeebies favourite Mr Maker and a special performance from X Factor stars Only The Young.

Charlotte Hawkins said: “I was thrilled to attend the Kids and Teens Star Awards party and meet all the inspirational children who have shown so much courage at such a young age.”

Harley’s mum Stacey Parker, 24, said: “We’ve had a brilliant day. Harley has enjoyed being treated like a super star.”
