Six-year-old Alice Hipkiss now looks really healthy, but that has not always been the case. She was born with a failing heart. This had as result that she used an artificial heart, called a Berlin Heart, for almost 230 days, longer than anyone else in the United Kingdom. Shortly after she got the real heart transplanted, she faced another setback. Cancer developed in her body due to the strong medicine she was taking. But she fought back this as well, being her fathers happy little princess after all. And because of the good help, the family is now helping to raise 500,000 pounds for a new Heart and Lung centre at the hospital.
Own opinion:
I find this little girl truly a hero. She is born with a failing heart, is put on a device for over seven months, develops cancer but she is not letting it hold her back at all. She fought everything, beat the cancer and is now happy and healthy. I feel so happy for this little girl that she is able to live a happy life after all that she has been through. I think that this girl will show a lot of persistence later in life, and I really do hope that she will live her life in a way that she wants too and that she is able to do anything that she wants.
