Young Reporter: 'We need more funding for cancer research'

An 11-year-old boy, whose mother and grandfather both have a rare form of blood cancer, has called for more funding to help find a cure.

Matthew, from Sheperdswell, Kent, has been shielding with his family for most of the last year.

He said: "I don't understand how they could find vaccines for Covid so quickly, yet cancer patients have to wait years for any developments."
