Louis Tomlinson from One Direction has thrown his support behind a campaign to raise cash for a young cancer sufferer.

Ruby Laura Young was diagnosed with a rare aggressive form of cancer just after her second birthday.

You can see Louis' plea on the

kmfm official facebook page.

Ruby, two, has neuroblastoma, an aggressive rare cancer and her parents Vikki and Rob, of Monmouth Close, Rainham, need to raise £500,000 for treatment in America that is not available on the NHS.

They have received support from many people who have done their bit to help the toddler, who has been given just a 40% chance of survival.

Ruby is being looked after on the NHS, but her cancer has an 80% chance of relapsing and at that point her only option would be treatment in the US.

Among those who have supported Ruby so far are Gillingham Football Club, The Voice star Jamie Johnson, the University of Greenwich at Medway, Lordswood Leisure Centre and The Barn Restaurant in Rainham.

The long list of celebrities who have tweeted about her plight include Queen guitarist Brian May, comedian Leigh Francis, TV presenter Gaby Roslin and Hollywood actress Melanie
Griffith.
