MORE than £6,000 has been raised through a family fun day which was held after a toddler was treated for a rare aneurysm.
Jacob Thistlewood, three, fell ill in June and started vomiting blood. He was taken to hospital where doctors discovered he had an aneurysm on the main artery that carries blood to the brain.
