The teenager who inspired Sir Elton John
Lewis Hine isn't your average teenager. When he was just 17 months old, he was diagnosed with a brain tumour and wasn't expected to survive, but he's never given up. Although he's had over 13 surgeries and been told he could die at any moment, he still remains completely positive. Not only did he organise a mega-prom for teenagers like him who have missed a lot of school due to illness, but he's also set up his own charity to help other children to make friends. Lewis came to the Outlook studio with his mum Emma, who described when she first spotted his health problems.
