a DARWEN musician has written a song to raise funds for Madison Allan’s cancer treatment.

Guitarist Glenn Evans, who plays in local rock group, Kreuz, is hoping to raise thousands for the Madison Allan appeal via the sales of his song, Time Escapes.

Six-year-old Madison, of Lord’s Crescent, Lower Darwen, was first diagnosed with stomach cancer aged 10-months and has battled the disease ever since.

Glenn, 33, said: “I think there are lots of people out there in a position to help Madison and this song is just another way that they can support her appeal.

“I have a talent so it is no skin off my nose to donate all the funds raised from the sales to the appeal.

“This is the worst nightmare of any parent and I would urge everyone to do as much as they can to help.”

The song, which carries the message, ‘With love time is irrelevant’, is available on the Townsend Records website for £1.

Madison’s family thanked Glenn for joining the appeal and urged people to buy the song.

her grandmother, Alison Foster, said: “It is an absolutely lovely gesture and Madison heard the song and she likes it as well.

“We are really pleased that people have been so thoughtful and we hope they will buy the single.”

Last week Madison was admitted to a high dependency unit after her family feared she had suffered a stroke.

Mum Samantha rushed Madison to the Royal Blackburn Hospital, where doctors carried out a series of blood tests.

Medics now believe the painful symptoms were caused by very low levels of calcium and potassium in her body, due to gruelling chemotherapy, and she was treated for the condition.

Today she is due to begin a a chemotherapy course at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

And this will be followed by a trip to hospital in Germany on Monday where she will undergo scans to see whether her tumour has shrunk, allowing her to start another phase of treatment.

Mrs Foster said: “Madison spent Christmas at home and she got very excited opening her presents.

“She is quite chirpy at the moment and it is the best we have seen her in a while because this time last year she was very poorly.

“We just hope that she can begin the next phase.”
