Fundraising raffle for sick child

Callum Kaye A fundraising appeal has been launched after a five-year-old boy was told he had less than a year to live.

Callum Kaye, from Swindon, has a brain tumour but his family are hoping to raise £175,000 for new treatment in the USA. His tumour was diagnosed in 2005.

Anna Eagle, Callum's mother, said: "He had 80% of the tumour cut out, then he had chemotherapy, then radiotherapy.

"Six months later they found it had spread down the spine." The family plans to organise a fundraising raffle.
