Two-year-old Brooke Chilton, of Norfolk Road, has optic nerve hyperplasia, and her only chance of being able to see is with stem cell treatment currently only available in China.

The family raised £926 at Asda in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, at the weekend.

This takes the total they have raised to nearly £7,000.
