AN anonymous donation of £25,000 has put a campaign to help a seriously ill two-year-old one step closer to achieving its goal.

The donation from the Isle of Man is a big help to the Sadie Rose Appeal, which is raising funds for the continued treatment of Sadie Rose Clifford, a little girl from Knaresborough with neuroblastoma.

After another course of chemotherapy last month, Sadie Rose is now in hospital in New York.

Sadie’s granddad, Graham Gotts, said: “There are constant ups and downs, but our Sadie certainly is a fighter.” For more information, or to donate, visit sadierosecliffordappeal.co.uk
