He has already appeared in a number of children's TV programmes
but now a young actor is starring in a film very close to his
heart.

Oliver Dillon, 12, has Cystic Fibrosis and has provided the
voice for a new cartoon character to help teach younger children
about the condition.

Oli from St Mary Platt near Sevenoaks said: "I hope it helps
lots of children with CF understand a bit more about what it means
and why they have to do their treatment every day."

"I also hope it helps their friends at school learn about
CF."

"It can also be quite lonely having CF as you're not allowed to

The cartoon "Getting Nosey about CF with Oli and Nush" was
produced by the Bromley based Cystic Fibrosis Trust and production
company Absolutely Cuckoo.
