My Life  - CBBC - BBC

Documentary about a teenager trying to host a prom for kids too ill to attend their own.

Documentary following Lewis, a young man with a big dream - to host a prom for 150 teenagers who were too unwell to attend their own.

Fifteen-year-old Lewis is a young man with a big dream - to host a school prom for 150 special teenagers who were too unwell to attend their own. 

Lewis knows how it feels to miss out as he too has spent so much time in hospital. Despite having a brain tumour that sometimes leads to as many as 35 epileptic episodes a week, he never gives up. To keep his dream alive, Lewis enlists help from friends, family and even Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw. 

However, his world is turned upside down when a fundraising video reaches 31 million people and he is caught in the eye of a media storm. Will it throw all his prom plans off track, or will the teenagers get to go to the ball?
