Joss Stone thanks fans for fundraising efforts
British singer Joss Stone has thanked fans who helped her raise more than $440,000 to fund specialist treatment for a young cancer patient.
The You Had Me hitmaker took to her Facebook.com page last week (ends21Apr13) to highlight the plight of seven-year-old Alexander Novakovic, who needs expert medical help in his battle with a brain tumour.
She called on her fans to help reach the $408,000 target to send
the Brit-based youngster to Boston, Massachusetts for treatment -
and Stone is delighted to learn the goal has been achieved.
In a follow-up post on her page, she writes, "Officially a very
happy bunny today! The target has been smashed for Alexander's
fund. Thank you so much to everyone who donated or spread the word.
They've raised over £275k now (sic), more than they need so other
people can be helped by the charity to (sic). So pleased that
little Alexander will be getting the treatment he needs."
