My husband and I would like to thank the people of Weymouth and Portland for their generosity during our fund raising for the Carly Bradshaw Appeal.

The total raised for Carly was £632.20 and this has been deposited into the Master Carly Bradshaw' account at the Lloyds TSB bank.

Five-year-old Carly Bradshaw, from the West Midlands, my husband David's great nephew, is bravely fighting a losing battle with cancer.

We have just been informed that the doctors have ruled out a long haul flight to the USA for Carly's dream to visit Dinseyland because he is too weak.

Instead, the family are going to use the money raised to fund a consultation at a private hospital offering alternative therapy for cancer patients and hopefully a short trip to Euro Disney.

Dianne and David Gibson, Portwey Close, Weymouth.
