Nine-month-old Faith Cushnie was born with a rare form of leukaemia.

Only a bone marrow transplant could save her life.

And mum and dad Amber Cushnie and Ryan Skelly were over the moon when Faith went into remission and a donor came forward.

Then, the unthinkable: The anonymous donor backed out and Faiths cancer relapsed.

Now doctors have said there is nothing more they can do for Menzieshill tot Faith.

Amber and Ryan hope their daughters tragic case can help drive home the importance of bone marrow donations.

There is currently a shortage of bone marrow donors in the UK.

As a result, Faiths family had to rely on just one individual to save their baby daughter.

Amber, 25, said: People give blood, but theres so little awareness of bone marrow donation. Its really simple to register.

If the transplant had taken place obviously theres no knowing what the situation would have been, but we wouldnt be in this position.
