An Edinburgh boy who was born without a right hand is to have his Christmas wish come true after a crowdfunding appeal.

Cameron Millar was born without a right hand. But, the 10-year-old has always been determined to overcome his challenges.

Last week, he and his mother Margaret Millar appealed to the public to help them raise £10,000 for an innovative new bionic hand.

Within days of making the news, the family’s target had been reached, with donations received from across the UK.

Ms Millar said: "We were overwhelmed with the support we received after our story hit the headlines last week.

"Donations just kept coming to us and we reached the target within a few days.

"This means the world to Cameron and he’s absolutely thrilled to know that he’ll achieve his dream of having a bionic hand, and he’s already making plans to learn to play the drums.”

Emma Kemp, charity manager at Radio Forth’s Cash for Kids, said: "As soon as we heard Cameron’s story, we had to do our bit to help.

"We quickly set up a fundraising page and this allowed the family to receive donations.

"Despite facing such a major challenge in his life, he never stops smiling and is incredibly positive and optimistic.

"Christmas is often a time of year when we focus on our own friends and family, but to witness the generosity Cameron received over the last week is amazing.”
