Having access to the NHS is a wonderful gift that no one should take for granted.
You can rock up to a hospital with pretty much any issue and be treated without having to fork out anything. Sure, you pay for it in your taxes but at least you're not being hit with a bill at the end of your treatment in the tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds.
But one LAD decided that he wanted to do something for the NHS Trust that helped him beat a serious disease.
Andrew Davies was just 13 years old when he was diagnosed with cute Myeloid Leukaemia back in 2012. He underwent chemotherapy, which was a long, painful and difficult battle, followed by a bone marrow transplant.
Knowing that type of procedure would cost a fair bit of money, Andrew wanted to pay it back. It was only until he was told just how much it was that he became really determined.
Andrew said: "She told me my surgery would cost the NHS £150,000. That is when I knew what I had to do. I had to repay them."
He's spent the last six years raising the funds to give every pence back. The now 20-year-old has decided to split the money raised between the Cancer Ward at the Sheffield Children's Hospital and leukaemia research.
He and his brother have cycled from coast-to-coast, from Liverpool to Skegness, to help raise some of the funds and also completed the 81-mile Dales Way hike.
Andrew said: "I've had fantastic support from so many people.
"Friends and family have ran marathons, held gala balls and raised money in lieu of presents. It's been incredible."
He's happy the funds will go towards a £2.75 million renovation plan for the Cancer Ward at Sheffield Children's Hospital. It aims to give patients their own space, allowing them to properly spend time with family and friends as well as deal with treatments.
Andrew added: "I was a teenager but I still had a family member stay by my side almost every night I was in hospital.
"It was really comforting to have that option, even at that age.
"Space for them to stay comfortably by their child on the ward will make a huge difference.
"Sheffield Children's Hospital is a phenomenal place and I really don't know what would have happened to me had I not been treated there, which is a scary thought."
Good on him for raising such an incredible amount of money and helping out the place that helped him in his darkest moments.
