FAMOUS faces are getting on board with a £370,000 fundraising appeal to send a terminally-ill girl to America for treatment which may prolong her life.

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has donated £500 towards Lily Mckelvey’s online fundraising appeal for pioneering treatment for her rare brain tumour.

The club donated the money to the six-year-old’s appeal following a silent auction where the team donated a signed pennant to the highest bidder.

Lily’s dad Jack, 31, is a huge Spurs fan and his family recently got in touch with the club to see if it could help in any way.

The club gifted them with a pennant signed by the team for an auction.

Former Spurs player Tom Huddlestone has also stepped into help Lily.

He said on Twitter: “Brave Lily is in need of some life-saving treatment.

“In order to help out we are auctioning off a signed VVD Liverpool shirt to raise much needed funds.”

A copy of Little Mix’s new album Confetti, signed by all members of the chart-topping girl group, is also being auctioned off.

Actor Kevin Mathurin, who plays Charles Anderson in ITV’s Emmerdale has also shared Lily’s fundraising appeal on his social media.

More than 5,3000 donors have given money towards Lily’s appeal so far - with an anonymous person donating a generous £10,000.

However, another £160,000 needs to be raised by next month for Lily to receive her treatment in time.

The youngster was diagnosed with an extremely rare tumour which developed in her brain stem in January.

Doctors diagnosed her condition as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).

Following Lily’s diagnosis, doctors told her parents, Jack and Elizabeth, their daughter’s life expectancy was between just six and nine months.

With treatment for DIPG no longer available in the UK, the couple launched a GoFundMe appeal in a desperate bid to raise £370,000 for treatment in America.

Elizabeth, 31, said the full amount of money needs to be reached by April as the treatment abroad has to be carried out between 12 and 14 weeks after radiotherapy for a chance of it working.

Lily completed her radiotherapy sessions last month.

Elizabeth said: “We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone still supporting Lily.

”Thank you to everyone working so hard to raise funds for Lily’s treatment and everyone continuing to share Lily’s story.”
