Liverpool woman's bid to be with dying husband

A woman from Merseyside is desperate to make it to her husband's bedside before he dies.

Scott Sands has been given just days to live after the muscle wasting disease he suffers from took a turn for the worse. He lives in Florida but his wife who has the same illness lives in Liverpool.

Rebecca Sands is now hoping someone will help her find the money she needs to get back to America after she was forced to come home for treatment herself a few weeks ago. Gregg Easteal reports:
