A THANKFUL family is hoping to raise funds and awareness of a charity which has “immeasurably” helped their daughter.

Three-year-old Elena Kay has a condition known as Russell Silver Syndrome, a congenital condition which means Elena is shorter and slighter than her peers and has little interest in eating so is partially tube fed.

She also suffers with low blood sugars, and due to delayed gross motor development, is not yet able to stand of her own accord.
