The family of a teenager diagnosed with cancer have donated £10,000 to Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity. Georgie was diagnosed with the disease when she was 15.
Medics initially believed her leg pain was due to a broken bone and gave her crutches. But when the pain hadn't disappeared weeks later, she underwent an MRI scan.
Further tests followed, revealing she had a bone cancer which usually affects children and young adults - Ewings Sarcoma. Georgie is now undergoing chemotherapy after being given the devastating diagnosis in December.
Glasgow Live she is grateful to the Royal Hospital for Children (RHC) for the care and support they have provided following her journey, which began last September when she was rushed to the A&E.
Her dad, Paul told Glasgow Children's Hospital charity: "No one will ever really understand what it is like for a child or teenager to be diagnosed with cancer.
"You can have sympathy for people going through these circumstances however you really can’t understand the magnitude of the situation until you are living through it yourself.
"Georgie, her sister Megan, Lynn and I are keen to let people know how difficult it is to go through. The support from the staff and doctors at RHC and the charities we have been supported by so far have helped us through the most difficult period of our lives."
