The family of a much-loved Fife toddler bravely battling a terminal illness have made a desperate plea for medics for help.
Jamie Tierney, three, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a muscle-wasting disease which also affects the lungs, heart and brain and is mainly found in boys.
His parents, Bobbie and Jamie senior, have taken him abroad for three treatments and are due to have a fourth next month. But the treatment, which is available in South America, costs £60,000 per year, reports the Daily Record.
