An anonymous British blood donor has come forward to help with Zainab Mughal's treatment in the US.

Three matching donors were located in the global effort to help save the life of the two-year-old cancer patient who needs some of the rarest blood in the world.

Zainab Mughal, from Florida, has a neuroblastoma - an aggressive form of cancer - and requires two bone marrow transplants and a series of transfusions to restore her blood supply while undergoing chemotherapy.
