Tributes have been paid to a young girl who spent the months before her death helping other cancer patients on Youtube.
Laura Powell was just nine-years-old when she was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour.
Both her life and that of her family's were turned upside down by the diagnosis, with her parents soon becoming her full-time carers, Examiner Live reported.
While Laura managed to overcome the first tumour, another appeared five years later.
The teenager decided to spread a cheerful message of hope and support via her Youtube channel, Big C Little Warrior, before being admitted to a end of life hospice where she died.
Now, following her death, Laura's parents are hoping to continue her positive legacy by launching the Big C Little Warrior charity.
Mum Annette said: "Laura was such a determined girl and she really cared about people a lot.
"Despite everything she went through, she always tried to make the best of things and help others."
When Laura was first diagnosed at the age of nine she had to go through a gruelling 16-months of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Eventually she was stable enough to return to school, where she excelled in her studies.
But in 2019, when Laura was 14, she and her family were given the agonising news that her tumour had returned.
They had to deal with the added blow of knowing that there was nothing doctors could do to save Laura's life.
Her parents said making the difficult decision to send Laura for palliative care at Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice turned out to be the best decision they could have made.
Annette, from Doncaster, said: "Being at Bluebell Wood at the end gave us the chance to spend quality time together that we wouldn’t have otherwise had.
"We didn’t have to worry about anything else – our meals were cooked for us, family could visit and the nurses helped looked after Laura. Everything was taken care of for us.
"After years of also being carers, that time at Bluebell Wood meant we could just be mum and dad."
Laura's dad, Mark Powell, had been hesitant to take Laura to Bluebell Wood at first, but he said that he would now recommend it to any parent that is facing a similarly sad decision.
He said: "Bluebell Wood was invaluable to us. Everyone is so friendly, warm and welcoming and nothing was ever too much trouble.
"It made such a massive difference at that stage of her life. There was always lots for Laura’s brother and sister to do and everything was just taken care of for us.
"All we wanted to do was spend as much time as possible together and Bluebell Wood gave us that opportunity."
The family remember Laura as a kind and determined girl, who was always keen to help others.
Even after her brain tumour returned, the youngster mustered all of her strength and courage to support other people through her Big C Little Warrior channel.
Her legacy now lives on though Big C Little Warrior, as it has become a charity that offers gift bags and support to people affected by cancer in Sheffield and Doncaster.
As part of their fundraising efforts, Big C Little Warrior produce and sell a range of greetings cards – and 1,000 cards with a stunning bluebell design have been donated to the hospice by Laura's grandmother, Carol Connelly.
Each pack sold will help the charity be there for families like Laura’s, they are currently on sale at Bluebell Wood's online shop here.
Madeline Oldale, Head of Communications at Bluebell Wood, said: "It’s clear that Laura was a truly remarkable young woman who touched many lives and inspired countless others with her kindness and compassion.
"It was our privilege to be able to give Laura and her family that precious time at together the end of her life.
"We’d like to say a heartfelt thank you for their kind words and generosity which will help us be there for other local families facing the unimaginable devastation of losing a child."
