A FUNDRAISER to turn a sick teenager's dream into a reality has received an out-of-this-world boost thanks to a £1,000 donation.
So inspired was the community of Chepstow by the charitable exploits of Noah Herniman, a local teenager with an inoperable brain tumour, that they have turned the fundraising tables to make his dream come true.
Noah Herniman suffers from a condition called neurofibromatosis, where tumours grow on a person’s nerve tissues.
He was diagnosed with an inoperable tumour at the core of his brain in 2021.
However, he has remained stoic ever since - continuing with charity work which has seen him become well-known throughout the town and beyond.

Now, the people of Chepstow and the wider region have decided that it is high time they showed how much Noah has inspired them.
A self-confessed Dr Who superfan, Noah has said that one of his dreams in life would be to own his very own Dalek.
Thanks to the power of the internet, a GoFundMe page has been set up to make that happen.
Daleks don't come cheap, but there is no cause to worry about needing a wallet which is bigger on the inside.
The financial target is a hefty £5,000, but a recent donation has already taken a chunk out of that.
At time of writing the donation pot is sitting at around £2,600 - just over half way.
One kind-hearted individual even donated a whopping £1,000 towards the Dalek.
In total there have currently been 86 donators and counting, with just 10 days on the clock.
