The mother of a boy from Cumbria is asking people to send him birthday cards, to mark his 18th birthday.

Zak Hall was left severely brain damaged after complications left him without oxygen for several minutes.

He was given a life expectancy of nine to 12 years, but on the 23 April he will be turning 18.

His mum Mags says people can drop off cards at Sedbergh Tourist Information.
