The 36-year-old from Wickham was left devastated when her 15-year-old stepdaughter was diagnosed with cancer but CLIC Sargent provided the whole family with support.

DiElle said: ‘I am so close with my stepdaughter and seeing her go through such a tough journey so young was heartbreaking for everyone.

‘As her stepmother I could not always get information from the hospital but CLIC Sargent were always there to talk to me and our family.’

DiElle runs her own music studio and as a thank you to the charity, wrote a single entitled Already a Hero with all proceeds going to the charity.

She said: ‘I just wanted to give something back to them and so many people wanted to get involved and lend their voices.

‘And I also had lots of parents send in photos of their children who have had cancer as they truly are heroes.’

‘We currently only reach two out of three young people with cancer and it’s really important to us to reach everyone.

‘The work we do is only possible because of supporters like DiElle, so we are so grateful to her for support.’

DiElle added: ‘I really hope people love the song and it helps CLIC Sargent raise funds so they can support more families with young children going through what is a horrendous journey.’
