A teenage girl who donated her hair to a cancer charity found out a year later she has cancer herself.

Kiya, 15, sat a GCSE exam on the same day she was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin's lymphoma after discovering a lump in her neck.

Twelve months after donating her hair to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides wigs to children with cancer, Kiya, from New Lubbesthorpe in Leicestershire, received her own wig from the charity following chemotherapy treatment.

She's now raising money for them and other cancer charities and has had some famous supporters.
