A YOUNG girl struck down with a rare deadly blood cancer is living life to the full again after being saved by a bone marrow transplant from her little sister.

Ruby Leaning, 10, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia following a collapse at her school when she was just six in 2020.

She desperately needed new bone marrow and then-two-year-old sister Mabel, now five, was found to be the perfect match.

Gran Amanda Fawcett, 56, said: "She got the stem cells from her little sister.

"We weren't expecting her to be a match and she was, we just couldn't believe our luck.
