Brave girl, 10, designs special pyjamas after spotting flaw during her cancer journey

Betsi Powley has made conditions easier for children with ports and other medical devices to have hospital treatment with her new pyjama design, noticed by Pride of Britain Awards

Betsi Powley was nine when she was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a rare type of cancer that occurs in the bones or the soft tissue around them.

While having chemo and radiotherapy at The Royal Marsden in London, Betsi noticed that ordinary pyjamas were not designed to suit kids having cancer treatment.

The youngster, from Bromley, South East London, worked to design a range of adaptive pyjamas, making it easier for children with ports and other medical devices to have hospital treatment.

Betsi, 10, and mum Tori use Instagram account @betsiatthemarsden to showcase the venture. Tori said: “Her passion to help others is heart warming. We couldn’t be prouder of her.”
