A family fun day will take place next weekend to raise vital funds for a Lowestoft toddler.

Jessica Butler was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma in April 2021.

She went through several rounds of induction chemotherapy, but scans showed less than a 50pc reduction in the disease, meaning she is not eligible for the next stages of frontline treatment on the NHS.

Her family have since been raising crucial funds to secure further treatment.

Kirkley and Pakefield Football Club will host the event on Saturday, November 19 from 10am.

The fun day will feature football games, VR gaming, a toy stall and nail painting.

Visits from Peppa Pig and Disney princesses are also expected, while a raffle, tombola and evening auction will also take place.

To donate, text Jessica and an amount up to £20 to 70450, or visit: www.solvingkidscancer.org.uk/appeal/jessicabutler.
