A signed Ryan Giggs shirt and a special anniversary football are set to raise funds for Ledbury toddler Courtney Jones-Davis, who suffers from the rare debilitating genetic condition, Rett Syndrome.

The shirt and ball are up for grabs in a raffle being drawn in Homend Paper Shop on Thurs-day, attended by Courtney and her parents.

Football fan John Badham, of The Langlands, a Manchester United season ticket holder for 25 years, was sent the items when he wrote to the club's charities department asking for help.

The ball celebrates 100 years of the club and is signed by stars of past and present, including Eric Cantona and David Beckham.

Mr Badham said: "This was something I could do to help friends."

A 12-hour marathon Skittleathon at the Royal British Legion Club raised over £4,500 for the three year old, who developed normally until she was 14 months old, then lost skills she had developed, such as talking and holding.

Courtney's parents hope to give their daughter ten days of "dolphin therapy" in Florida, to encourage the child's communication skills.

Tickets for the raffle are on sale both at Ledbury Sports and Leisure, and at the Homend Paper Shop.
