A family discovered their 12-year-old girl had a brain tumour after a routine check-up at Specsavers. Opticians discovered swelling behind schoolgirl Grace Kelly's eyes in August last year.
Now, her family are desperately trying to raise £200,000 for life-saving treatment in Germany, which is not currently available on the NHS.

She added: "The doctor showed my husband, John, and I the scan images, which showed a small mass, about the size of a 50 pence piece. He told us that Grace had a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumour.
"We were really shocked and in a state of disbelief. I couldn’t understand how this could be happening to our daughter and I felt very scared. Just before her
