Carter from South Shields was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer in 2024.

Whilst in hospital, he won a competition to design a 'dream bestie' - a microwaveable soft toy which can help with the pain of treatment. Carter's design called 'Harvey the Harp seal' will now be transformed into a toy, with proceeds helping to support the work of Cancer Support UK.

He's a massive Newcastle United fan and Carter told us 'Harvey' was inspired by his hero.....Harvey Barnes.

The winger surprised Carter while on a visit to St James' Park.
