"The waiting list is very long to have this done of the NHS - it can take years. So I've decided to have it done privately, which will cost around £6,000," e said.

A music student at Leeds uni, he lives with his parents in Great Linford and works part time at a bowling alley. By being careful with money, he has saved £2,000 for his wages.

This week Cameron, who wants to be a professional musician, launched a GoFundMe page to raise the other £4,000.
