Falkirk schoolgirl needs £240,000 for cancer treatment in New York
Ashlee Easton's been battling the disease since she was six years old.
A Falkirk teenager needs £240,000 to receive life-changing cancer treatment in New York.
Ashlee Easton, 13, was first diagnosed with neuroblastoma when she was just six years old.
The diagnosis came in February 2013 after she complained about an abdominal pain and ache down her legs to her mum, Lisa, who took her to her GP.
She was free of the disease by 2014, but relapsed in 2016 and 2018.
Her family hope she can go to New York to receive treatment this year in order to stop it from ever coming back.
Lisa Easton said: "We've had a really stressful seven years - our family's been split apart.
"I've had to give up work to look after Ashlee - she's our priority.
"We've not been able to go on normal family holidays or plan days out and things - we're really just living day to day.
"It just puts further pressure on the family - you're already going through a lot and to have to fundraise and beg people for money's really hard."
Speaking about day to day life, Ashlee told Forth News: "It's really boring sometimes and I can't really do a lot because I'm tired all the time.
"Please help me raise this money so I can go back to living a normal life."
