Staff in PJs give Lewis a £600 boost
Lewis Mighty has neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer, and has already undergone three months of chemotherapy and a seven-hour operation to remove a tumour, wrapped around the blood supply to his kidney.
But doctors were only able to remove 20% of the cancer and the youngster has just a 10% to 20% chance of surviving the next two years.
His parents, Jaime and Perry, of Hounslow Road, Mackworth, are trying to raise £300,000 to send Lewis to New York for treatment which is not available in the UK.
Staff from the Esso service station, in Mackworth, dressed up in their nightwear to raise money towards the trip.
