World Update

Available for over a year

Eleven-year-old Kylie Simmonds has spent a long time in hospital receiving cancer treatment, and became fed up with dragging clumsy intravenous drips around. So she came up with an inventive solution – a stylish back-pack that incorporates an IV line. She and her father Mike told World Update more about the idea.
