A tap-dancer from South Oxhey has contributed art work for the front of a charity Christmas card, despite having completely lost his sight over a year ago.

Kelsey Trevett, seven, was diagnosed with cancer of the eye when he was just 16 weeks old.

His left eye was removed and the cancer went into remission. Six years later his parents were told it had returned in his right eye.

Treatment left Kelsey in isolation in hospital for 56 hours and appeared to have worked, until the tumours returned a year later.

Kelsey, who attends Woodhall School, recently won a WellChild Award for remarkable bravery, and drew a picture of a Christmas tree for the front of one of the WellChild cards on sale to raise money this festive season.

Colin Dyer, WellChild chief executive, said: “Kelsey did a wonderful drawing for us as did all the other children involved.

“All profits made from the cards will go to helping us in our work to care for and support sick children and their families, in addition to assisting in the funding of our ground-breaking research.”

A keen dancer, Kelsey attends Gypsy Booth Dance School on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Kelsey's mother Jo Trevett said: “We went to see his sister Jordan dance and there was a display by the tap dancers. He loves dancing, he's just got natural rhythm.”

WellChild provides a team of nurses who work with families to ensure that children with complex care needs can leave hospital and return home.

In addition, the charity has invested more than £20 million in ground-breaking children's health research projects.
