Gordon Ramsay, Spice Girls and other stars rally to teen Annie's aid


A schoolgirl has persuaded big stars to help her recover from cancer.

Annie Dickenson, 16, was treated successfully for Hodgkin's lymphoma but doctors warned there was a chance of it returning.

She is on a £200-a-week organic diet to boost her immune system and wrote to celebs asking for raffle prizes to offset the cost.

Annie was amazed by the response from the stars - the Spice Girls sent a signed CD and tour programme, Rolling Stones' guitarist Ronnie Wood donated a painting of him and Rod Stewart, while chef Gordon Ramsay sent a cookbook.

Annie, who lives near Monmouth, Gwent, said yesterday: "Everyone has been brilliant."
