Girl's life transformed after 'brilliant' £8.5K gift

Ruby Grimshaw, from St Helens, had meningitis when she was born as well as a condition called encephalitis, which causes an inflammation of the brain. This then caused cerebral palsy and her parents thought they "might lose her" after she was incubated for a month.
