A SELFLESS mum has won a Proud of Barnsley award for fundraising for her daughter, Ebonie Webb.
Six-year-old Ebonie was diagnosed with a brain tumour at just six months old. Mum Leanne Drummond, 32, of Honeywell, has been fundraising ever since for her little girl.
Along with Ebonie's dad Mick, the pair had been hoping the money raised over the years would send their ill daughter to America for treatment.
However, that's been put on hold.
The couple have recently learnt that Ebonie's tumour had grown and spread to her spine, leaving her unable to travel and needing urgent surgery and chemotherapy.
The tumour had spread to the most complex part of the brain, which could eventually mean Ebonie's eyesight is lost.
After winning her Proud of Barnsley award as Carer of the Year, Leanne said: "I'm shocked - I didn't expect to win.
"Ebonie will be really chuffed. She said to me the other day that she hoped I win because 'I look after her the best'."
