Katy Perry sent terminally ill teenager a message following social media campaign
Members of an Island charity have spoken of their pride after a pop star sent a terminally ill teenager a message.
Katy Perry contacted 13-year-old Sophie Birtles following a social media campaign.
Sophie, who suffers from a rare genetic condition, is being cared for at Rebecca House as her health deteriorates.
Kirrie Norton from the charity and Margaret Simpson and Amy Davenport from Hospice IOM - say putting a smile on a patient's face is what makes their job worthwhile:
TT rider 'suffered chest injuries in fatal crash'
Community on Island 'praying' as 7.8 earthquake hits Philippines
Workforce size and pay awards make health budget 'difficult to predict'
Overhead MER cables brought down in Laxey
