Mum of brave cancer toddler who sang Frozen with nurses in heartwarming video tells of plight to save her little girl
Lynsey McColl, 27, has just four months to raise funds to get her daughter to the US for potentially life-saving treatment not available on NHS
THE mum of a sick toddler who stole the country’s hearts with a video of her singing Frozen hit Let It Go in hospital has revealed her desperate plight to save her daughter.
Heartwarming footage of Millie McColl, then just three, singing the Disney tune with nurses in Glasgow won the admiration of thousands last year.
The plucky little girl belted out the words to the song despite being in the midst of a gruelling treatment cycle to cure a rare and aggressive form of cancer.
Now her 'immensely proud' mum Lynsey, who is a nurse herself, has spoken publicly for the first time about the ordeal of watching her child go through the treatment.
She said: “The last 14 months we have watched Millie go through such gruelling treatments and countless operations, feeling every bit of upset, pain and frustration along with her.
“It has been the hardest time of our lives but also the proudest.
“Millie's strength throughout has been incredible.”
Lynsey, 27, was relieved earlier this year to hear that her daughter’s cancer was in remission.
But the neonatal nursery nurse revealed the family’s ordeal wasn’t over.
She is now engaged in a last ditch battle to get her daughter, now four, to the US in time for an experimental treatment that could save her life.
