'˜Keep Billy Alive' fundraising team runs through Larne and Carrickfergus
Kyle Moore’s 11-year-old brother Billy is currently receiving cannabis oil treatment in Los Angeles to shrink a lesion caused by intractable epilepsy, prior to undergoing brain surgery.
With cannabis oil use illegal in the UK, the youngster’s family have launched the ‘Keep Billy Alive’ campaign to raise around £400,000 to fund his US treatment and to draw attention to what they say are the benefits of cannabis oil use in medical treatment.
