A 20-year-old student from Kinross who was diagnosed with an extremely rare brain tumour is trying to raise £250,000 for treatment.

Joscelyn Kerr was just 18 when she was told she had a schwanoma tumour.

She’s now awaiting more scan results, after being told her current medication may no longer be effective.

But despite her devastating diagnosis, she’s continuing with her university studies in astrophysics and is trying to raise as much money as possible for an option which she hopes could save her life.
