Chanel is delighted with her new bike A GIRL who was the world s youngest heart surgery patient, has been given an early Christmas surprise from a North-East charity. Six-year-old Chanel Murrish, of Seaham, wanted a bicycle, so she could join her brothers and friends as they played outside. But a series of major health conditions, from epilepsy and heart problems to cerebral palsy, meant she was forced to watch from the sidelines. At birth Chanel was given just a five per cent chance of survival but, despite defying all the odds, her ongoing conditions meant simple pleasures such as a bike ride were beyond reach.
