Artist's statement: This shows our 5-year-old son Franck, who is being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, having his hospital chemo at home during lockdown. The treatment is being administered by his CLIC Sargent nurses from the Children's Oncology/Haematology ward at Bristol Children's Hospital. Franck was the first patient of theirs to receive this new way of receiving treatment. The care they give him and us as a family is incredible and we can't thank them enough.
