In Part 1 of this Between These Walls special, Jamie's mum Vicky Inglis recalls his fight against neuroblastoma eleven years on and how the kindness of the community helped him get the treatment he needed and live a happy 18 months in remission.

Vicky is keen to stress that Jamie's story is a positive one - and how it led her on a path to supporting other families facing childhood cancer through her work with Solving Kids Cancer UK.
