What's up with Richard? Medikidz Explain Leukaemia COMIC

Richard is a budding young actor with heaps of talent and a good, strong voice, but his leukaemia makes him tired and frustrated, and is preventing him from rehearsing properly...

Luckily the Medikidz, a dedicated group of super-powered action-heroes with attitude, are on hand to help Richard get to grips with what's going on! Pump, Chi, Skinderella, Gastro, Axon and their trusty robot Abacus help Richard fully understand the medical facts behind leukaemia and what causes it - when they have stopped fighting over who has stolen the chocolate chips out of the ice cream, that is! These unique superheroes bring expert medical knowledge on the blood stream, blood cells and the bone marrow, and lead Richard on an intricate tour around Mediland (a distant planet shaped just like the human body!).

Join Richard on his expedition around the human body as he learns all about the badly behaving blood cells that lead to leukaemia and how it can be treated. Meet chatty platelets and aggressive white blood cells along the way while joining in with the songs on this musical journey. Even leukaemia won't stop Richard from being a stage performer!
