AS little Noah Vorajee made a festive picture he urged children around Britain to draw one too to help his aunt to save lives.
His relative is Safiyya Vorajee who lost her daughter to an aggressive form of leukaemia at just eight months old and set up The Azaylia Foundation in her memory.

Now the charity has teamed up with The Sun on Sunday to launch our Christmas Cards For Kids campaign to help tackle childhood cancer.
And today we — and Noah — are calling on YOUR children to draw or paint a Christmas picture.
Three winning entries will be turned into limited- edition cards to be sold at Clintons stores throughout the UK.
All the proceeds will go towards buying presents for children who are battling cancer this festive season and to The Azaylia Foundation, which will use it to fund new childhood cancer specialists.
Noah, seven, said: “It makes me happy to do this for my cousin Azaylia and for the children who are poorly in hospital.
“I’m proud that my drawing can help them get presents and make them smile at Christmas.”
Safiyya, who together with Azaylia’s football star dad Ashley Cain raised more than £1.5million to fund treatment before their little girl lost her battle in April 2021, said: “To know that his drawing, along with others, will help raise money to support children fighting cancer while bringing them gifts, smiles and a little extra magic at Christmas is truly beautiful.”
The winning entries will be chosen by a panel of judges including Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies, who said: “Kids . . . get drawing!”
