Throughout her toughest years living with cancer, Brittany Booth's dazzling smile has never faded. And now, through the smallest gesture, the gutsy 15-year-old is casting hope and bringing smiles to thousands of Australia's sick children.

The girl, who lives near Nowra, has undergone more than 100 invasive procedures - including radical surgery in February - but, through it all, her colorful pillow case helped keep her spirits high.

She is a finalist in the Child of Courage category for the Pride of Australia Award.
