Girl, 12, launches appeal to find bone marrow donor
East Midlands Today
A 12-year-old girl from Nottingham diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia has started an online appeal to encourage people to become bone marrow donors.
Lilya, from Wollaton, was told four months ago she had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy and a donor is being sought for a transplant.
Her brother stepped up but after it was found he was not a match, she decided to work with family and friends to set up the Find a Match For Lilya campaign.

She said: "It's not guaranteed that someone will be a match specifically for me but I really want to do this whole thing to raise more awareness and get people to donate."
Her mother said: "She said to me 'I know it's probably not going to help me mum but if I can help somebody else then that would be brilliant."

Man builds £600 Brexit stockpile
East Midlands Today
A man from Leicestershire has stockpiled almost two months of food over fears about panic-buying in the event of a no deal Brexit.
David Ivory, from Wymeswold, is vegan and has been buying additional items over the past six months.
He estimates by the end of March he'll have spent about £600 on everything from frozen fruit to oat milk, tinned vegetables and coffee.

He said: "I started in October just buying a few extra bits and pieces and gradually we've bought more and more as we approach D-Day.
"It just seemed like a sensible insurance policy to be prepared."
The Department for Exiting the European Union has said it has no plans to stockpile food and people should not do so either.
A spokesperson said: "The UK has a strong level of food security built upon a diverse range of sources including strong domestic production and imports from third countries. This will continue to be the case whether we leave the EU with or without a deal."
