One Direction's Louis Tomlinson makes video appeal to help seriously ill tot

Two-year-old Ruby Young has a rare form of stomach and bone cancer and if treatment in the UK fails she needs £500,000 to travel to the US

One Direction\'s Louis Tomlinson has urged people to "give all you can" in a video appeal for a sick tot who suffers from a rare form of cancer.

Two-year-old Ruby Young needs £500,000 of treatment in the US if chemotherapy here fails to cure her stomach tumour and bone disease.

When Louis heard about the toddler\'s plight he recorded the special message for her.

Ruby\'s mum, Vikki, 30, from Rainham, Kent, said: “People have been so generous.”

Little Ruby is one of just 100 kids in the UK to be diagnosed every year with the rare and aggressive childhood cancer known as neuroblastoma.

But because of her genetic make-up, doctors have warned her parents Vikki and Rob Young that the youngster faces a strong chance of relapse after treatment.

The determined couple launched an appeal for £500,000 which would be needed to send her to the US for treatment currently not available in the UK.

The Ruby Young Journey is backed by the Neuroblastoma Children\'s Cancer Alliance UK (NCCA) charity and has so far raised £112,000.

VVikki said that Ruby had been able to spend Christmas at home with her family and even visited the O2 Centre on Boxing Day to watch Disney on Ice.

She returned to London\'s Royal Marsden Hospital for a fresh course of chemotherapy on Dec 29.

Vikki added: "Ruby\'s back at home again having finished a week\'s worth of chemo.

"She\'s feeling a little bit sick because the drugs are quite strong.

"When she recovers she will have to go back in for another course."
