A kindhearted couple have given away 22,500 raised for their seriously ill daughter to help a sick child they've never met after being told the money would not find a cure for their little girl.
Kevin and Christine Williams hoped the cash would pay for successful stem cell treatment for seven-year-old Abigail, who suffers from a fatal genetic disease.
But they have been told her condition is incurable and paying thousands for any further procedures would be futile.
