A young cancer blogger who shared his experience of his battle with the disease to raise awareness has died, aged 22.

North Londoner Jack Morgan was 20 when he was diagnosed with undifferentiated carcinoma of the eye. He received the all-clear last year but the cancer returned.

In 2018, Mr Morgan featured in Chai Cancer Care’s appeal video for its fundraising dinner, explaining how the charity's support had helped him.

 “What was scary was going into the unknown,” he said. “It just didn’t feel real, like it wasn’t happening to me. The hardest parts for me were the treatment, the chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the nausea, lack of energy.”
