Sharon celebrates 21st birthday in charitable style
Ballymena girl Sharon Caldwell, who has recently undergone treatment at the Cancer Centre at Belfast City Hospital, celebrated her milestone 21st birthday in a very unique way - instead of asking for gifts or money for herself, she asked that family and friends make a donation to leading cancer charity Friends of the Cancer Centre.
The selfless act raised an astonishing £800 and the money will be used by the charity to support other cancer patients and families across Northern Ireland. S
