taken to honour brave Mark
A Christmas wish has come true for a brave Runcorn youngster.
Mark Watts, aged 11, has overcome serious health problems and two near tragedies in the family - and has just met his pop heroes, H and Claire from Steps - thanks to Radio City 96.7.
In January, Mark was seriously ill with kidney problems but still managed to look after his mother when she had a bad car crash.
Support
He was then rushed to hospital for a serious operation, but still managed to give support to his mum - even when his brother was rushed to hospital with health problems of his own.
Mark did all his schoolwork at home and even raised £100 for Children in Need with a sponsored walk.
Radio City arranged a meeting at a secret location with H and Claire yesterday (Tuesday), where Mark got to chat to the pop stars and have his photo taken with them.
