Amy Dowden could be seen dabbing her eyes as a child who'd survived cancer recieved an award during the Pride of Britain ceremony.
Amy Dowden was moved to tears as a young girl was handed a prize at the Pride of Britain Awards after she was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer in 2021.
Pride of Britain's Child of Courage award winner Freya Harris, eight, went through 'hell and back' after being diagnosed with a rare cancer, and Amy was seen wiping away tears as the schoolgirl was honoured during the ceremony. When she was seven years old, Freya was diagnosed with Wilms' Tumour, a form of kidney cancer that affects around 80 children in the UK each year.
'She's been through hell and back and it's been a definite battle,' Freya's mother Gemma said during an appearance on Lorraine.'But what Freya does, is she pulls through, and she doesn't give up her fight, which is just the epitome of Freya.' Occasionally, the tumour may bleed slightly and this can cause irritation in the area of the kidney, which may be painful.The child may also have a fever, upset stomach, weight loss or a lack of appetite.
The inseparable duo inspired thousands when they walked onto the world's most famous dog stage at the NEC Birmingham. Amy oozed confidence in a floor-length pink gown with a giant satin bow on the shoulder, to represent the pink ribbon that symbolises the fight against breast cancer, as October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
She penned: 'Sunday evening I had the honour of attending @prideofbritain, where we get to celebrate extraordinary people who go above and beyond to help others.
