Nearly 260 people from Crawley have come forward to try and help save the life of a ten-year-old girl who is on the stem cell register.

Amilah suffers from aplastic anaemia, which causes low blood levels, risk of severe infection, and extreme tiredness.

If she finds a donor, Amilah said: “They could become a hero.”

No one in her family is a stem cell match, so they hope one of the hundreds of people who signed up will be suitable.
