Family’s global appeal for help for Aoife, three

THE family of a three-year-old Irish girl battling a rare brain tumour have appealed to the world for information that might lead to her cure.

Toddler Aoife McGrane-King is halfway through a six-week course of radiotherapy at St Luke’s Hospital in Dublin but doctors have told her parents that is all they can do for her and they must prepare for the worst.

On the standard prognosis given in cases like hers, Aoife will be lucky to see another Christmas.
