A TEENAGE boy who is fighting cancer has been named the High Sheriff of Lancashire’s Young Citizen of the Year 2020 for his work with young cancer patients. Sahil Usman, 14, from Blackburn, was praised by judges for his extensive work helping young cancer patients, while also fighting his own battle with Leukaemia. Despite becoming increasingly ill and going through intense chemotherapy the QEGS pupil s sense of compassion and his need of helping others took priority.
