A Walsall student who found out this summer he has terminal bone cancer has told Capital his friends and family have been 'his rock'.

21 year old Matt Greenwood was in his third year at Oxford when he found out he had the disease after being treated for a sports injury.

Matt says he is overwhelmed by the support he's had from family, friends and others who have donated to his online JustGiving fund.
