A family has raised nearly £50,000 to try and find a cure for their daughter who hasn't been able to eat - for SIX YEARS. Pretty Ayllah-Beau Foley, 22, developed a rare condition which paralysed her stomach when she was just 16. Her weight dropped to less than 6st and she was able to fit into clothes for ten-year-olds before doctors diagnosed her with the rare ailment. Ayllah-Beau was fed nutrients through a tiny feeding tube directly into her heart until a near-fatal bout of septicaemia in April. Now she relies on a painful tube directly into her bowels meaning she has dropped to a size six, but her parents say the potential for a cure in the future keeps her going.
