A lad is hoping to raise £300,000 for his best friend’s life-saving cancer treatment - after they both got the deadly disease months apart. Danilo Talic, 13, whose cancer is now in remission, is helping raise the huge sum for Jamie Covington, 14, so he can enter a groundbreaking medical trial in Germany. Jamie was diagnosed with rare Rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue cancer, in May 2023, while Danilo was found to have Non-Hodgkin lymphoma just two months later. The pair both attend Hinchingbrooke School in Huntingdon, Cambs., but only became firm friends while receiving treatment in the same ward at Addenbrooke's Hospital. And while Danilo was given the all-clear in September last year, Jamie got the sad news that his cancer had returned in May. Danilo has now vowed to help his close pal fight the disease by raising as much money as possible for him through sponsored events.
