MADISON Allan turned six yesterday with a smile on her face.
Seeing the pictures from hospital, you wouldn’t realise that for five years of her life she has battled cancer.
It would be too much for most adults, never mind a young child.
But her family say she is a special little girl who amazes them with her sheer determination to live.
Photographs are testament to her spirit. They always capture a confident, cheerful girl with a glint of cheekiness in her eyes.
It is truly inspiring to see her bravery in battling cancer.
But this battle has its biggest fights yet to come.
Madison is undergoing treatment in Germany paid for by £50,000 of funds raised in East Lancashire.
Her family say it has been a real success so far. But to complete the course another £150,000 will be needed.
It is costly but no-one can deny she deserves every single penny.
For Madison and her family, each new day is priceless.
That is why it is vital people dig deep and donate their money to help this brave fighter.
