A fundraiser has been raising money to send Ava Bolton to New York.
An appeal to send an Ayrshire tot to New York for specialist cancer treatment has smashed its £250,000 target.
Ava has been undergoing gruelling treatment for stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma which has just a 50 per cent survival rate. Her desperate family uncovered a miracle vaccine treatment being trialled at the Memorial Sloan Kettering centre in New York, but the potential lifeline comes at an eye-watering cost of £250,000.
Dad Scott and mum Natalie launched a fundraiser as they called for urgent help in April. Now less than six months since they first revealed Ava's battle - they've raised £261,406 and counting.
