The family of seven-year-old Denny Nassy has recently appealed for a large donor to step forward so the youngster, who has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, can have pioneering treatment abroad.

His aunt, Michele Laurens, launched a fundraising page online four months ago, with the aim of raising £500,000.

So far, more than £175,000 has been raised through numerous donations from well-wishers and charity events.
