Zoe who's 11 reported on her condition and how it's made her stronger.
91热爆 Young Reporter gives young people age 11-18 across the UK an opportunity to tell their own stories and get involved in skills workshops.
There are two parts to it - the Young Reporter Festival and the Young Reporter competition.
The Young Reporter Competition gives young people like you a unique chance to tell their story on TV, radio, online or on social media with the help of 91热爆 journalists, producers and programme makers.
To enter you need to send in an outline of the story idea online here before the closing date, Saturday 31 October 2020.
The most original and interesting stories will be put in front of a panel of presenters, reporters, senior editors and producers from programmes and platforms such as Newsround, Newsbeat, The One Show and 91热爆 Three.
Newsround's Ricky Boleto has been on the judging panel in previous years!
They will choose the most original and powerful stories - which will be made with the winning entrants and will be broadcast by the 91热爆 on either TV, radio, online or social media platforms.
Me and my world: A true story about your life, or the world you live in. The story could be about your own identity, or about an issue or experience that impacts on you or your community. You need to show how your report on this story can reflect the wider situation, not just your own experience of it.
Uplifting: An uplifting story which is inspiring and upbeat. Have you or someone you know bought a positive change to another person's life? Is there something uplifting happening in your local community you think should be reported on? The story has to be original. It can be about you, your friends or family, or someone in the wider area in which you live.
Coronavirus: How has the Coronavirus pandemic made a difference to your life? We are looking for a mix of positive, celebratory stories as well as looking at the challenging and negative impact it has particularly on young people's lives. What changes to your life or your family and friends life have there been?
Stories will not be broadcast until all judging is completed, so remember your suggestion still needs to be interesting and relevant in March 2021.
This is the third year of the 91热爆's Young Reporter competition.
Previous years saw thousands of young people putting forward an original story idea that they thought the 91热爆 should be reporting - about their lives and personal experiences, their community or about a subject that really matters to them.
The girl who is campaigning for more diversity in books
This year the Young Reporter festival ran from Monday 9 March to Friday 13 March, with the Young Reporter Awards being on Tuesday 10 March place in the Radio Theatre at 91热爆 Broadcasting House in London.
It was there that the winners of the national and regional Gold, Silver and Bronze awards were announced.

Fourteen-year-old Jovita tells us what it's like to be deaf in a hearing world
In 2019 14-year-old Jovita was one of 12 finalists, and spoke about what it was like 'living life deaf in a hearing world'.
Newsround also spoke to 16-year-old Jake who became the UK's first Makaton-friendly DJ.
Throughout the week 91热爆 buildings will be hosting virtual events and media skills workshops and for young people from schools and colleges.
The judges will choose the most original and powerful stories - which will be made with the winning entrants and will be broadcast by the 91热爆 on either TV, radio, online or social media platforms.
You can find stories by other young people on the 91热爆 Young Reporter website.
