A mum claims she and her son who have Lyme disease face a "slow death" if they cannot raise £100,000 for treatment.
Emily Gilmour, 36, and her son Oliver, five, suffer from the infection, which is caused by a bite from an infected tick, and struggle with pain every day.
The mum, who lives near Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, thinks she may have been bitten 23 years ago when she suffered flu-like symptoms after going hillwalking.
