Brave - Lily, 6, after her third radiotherapy session DONATIONS have been pouring in over the past week to help a six-year-old girl with a terminal brain tumour. Thousands of people have donated almost £80,000 towards Lily Mckelvey’s online fundraiser since it launched just eight days ago. Lily, who lives in Marks Tey with her parents Elizabeth and Jack, was diagnosed with an extremely rare tumour which grows in the stem of the brain on January 12. The youngster’s condition - known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) - is diagnosed in as few as 20 children in the UK each year.
A BIG-HEARTED youngster sacrificed his birthday presents to raise vital cash for charity instead. Charlie Speary-Tyerman, who turned ten on Tuesday, is celebrating after his humble £100 fundraiser went through the roof thanks to family and friends. Charlie, from Halstead, is an avid supporter of charity work and is always looking to do his part. For his tenth birthday, he decided he didn’t need a present but wanted to raise money for charity after doing a project on refugee children at school - St Andrew s Primary School. With the help of mum Victoria Speary, Charlie set up a Gofundme page to try to raise £100 for a children’s charity.
