An inspirational boy of seven has set up his own charity to help children battling brain tumours - as he fights cancer himself.
Mason Fountain has just completed a tough 20 months of chemotherapy after receiving his diagnosis in April 2010.
But the youngster from Ipswich in Suffolk, has also managed to raise thousands of pounds for charities since starting treatment.
Today marks the start of a new fundraising drive as they put the finishing touches to Mason's Magic - Mason's very own charity.
Mason decided he wanted to help other children after he was given the chance to meet his pop idols N-Dubz and visit Disneyland Paris.
He told his mother Shelley, 27, who said she has been overwhelmed by the huge wave of support they have received within a matter of weeks.
The primary school pupil has already notched up almost 3,000 followers since joining Twitter on Wednesday.
His celebrity supporters include Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh, weather girl Clare Nasir, Tracy Beaker actress Dani Harmer and TOWIE stars Kirk and Mick Norcross.
