Chloe Gray, 11, celebrates after receiving a life-saving stem-cell transplant at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.
The Sunderland youngster was born with Diamond Blackfan Anaemia (DBA) – a condition which means her body doesn’t produce red blood cells and has spent years undergoing regular blood transfusions to stay alive.
An incredible 9/10 donor match was found in August 2019 and in June 2021 Chloe finally underwent the transplant.
She spent more than eight weeks in hospital isolation as her immune system built back up and was finally able to celebrate the end of the transplant treatment by ringing the bell at the RVI.
