Help save a life say Margot Martini's parents as brave tot given all-clear from cancer

A stem cell donor was found after a huge 'Team Margot' appeal and a transplant took place in February

A brave toddler who inspired a worldwide internet campaign to find her a stem cell donor has been given the all-clear from cancer.

Little Margot Martini was diagnosed with two rare types of leukaemia last October, sparking a huge Team Margot appeal by her parents to find a bone marrow match for the 21-month-old.

Backed by countless celebrities, including comedian John Bishop, tennis star Boris Becker and X Factor winner Sam Bailey, more than 50,000 people requested swab kits from Delete Blood Cancer UK in just six weeks.

A stem cell donor was found and a transplant took place in February. Margot finally received the all-clear after medical checks on May 6 at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.

Now parents Vicky and Yaser Martini have received the incredible news that Margot has beaten the disease.

Delighted dad Yaser, from Essington in Staffordshire, said: We are all very happy and relieved at the news.

The nurse from Great Ormond Street called to tell us on Monday. We were quietly hoping that it would be the case.
