“A year ago if I had to come into hospital I’d be absolutely petrified, but now the ward and the whole hospital feels like a home,” said Mia.“All the little kids on the ward are going through the same thing, so I try and show them the procedures.

“I think seeing a role model like me who is going through the same thing helps them feel a little bit less scared.”Having found unexpected social media fame, she is determined to use her platform for good.“It sort of blew up so I thought why not raise awareness and money for the charities, especially Noah’s Ark who have been a help to me since my diagnosis,” said Mia, who has already raised over £2,000.

“It’s been amazing and makes me feel really proud of myself and happy that I’m able to help other kids.”One of her closest friends is four-year-old Vinnie who was also diagnosed with leukaemia.

The two bonded over their affinity for Mia’s cuddly toy Sully, from the Pixar film Monsters Inc.

Another is Charlotte, nine, from Builth Wells, who is full of praise for Mia’s positive energy on the ward.Frustrated residents said they had already waited "years and years" and were fed up with heavy traffic.
