Little boy, 4, with rare cancer desperately needs £250,000 for American drug trial

The family of a four-year-old boy with a rare cancer are battling to raise money to send him to America for a drug trial that could prolong his life.

Now Calum Rae’s only chance could be an experimental vaccine costing £250,000 which could help his body fight off the rare aggressive neuroblastoma cancer he was diagnosed with.

Mum Victoria McDonald said her tot was diagnosed after catching chicken pox in January. When symptoms persisted his GP said it was a post-viral infection linked to shingles.
