Matt Smith (Doctor Who) Grants A Child With Leukaemia's Wish
This is a really heart-warming story. Young Doctor Who fan, Alfe Game, was given the best Christmas present ever when he got to meet the 11th Doctor himself.... on Christmas Eve!
"Alfe Game was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma when he was just five and spent last Christmas in Hospital. He went into remission in the summer and has since dedicated hours of his time to helping children in a similar position to himself, collecting toys for presents for children and designing Christmas cards to be sold to fund presents for friends who have relapsed with leukaemia.
As a thank-you for his hard work, the [Northampton Chronicle and Echo] paper set up a surprise Christmas Eve visit from the Eleventh Doctor, who was born and grew up in Northampton.
After the visit Alfe Game said, "Meeting Doctor Who was fantastic. When I heard I was going to meet him I was so excited I was crying inside and when I saw him on my doorstep I was so happy. I’ve got what I wanted for Christmas. This has been the best Christmas yet."
Doctor Who returns to TV screens Spring 2011!
