The family of eight-year-old Hollie Clark broke the news yesterday on the Facebook page that they used to raise awareness of her battle with the bone marrow disorder MDS.

As part of a social media campaign to find a donor, celebrities including football player Gareth Bale posed with their underwear on their heads to rise awareness.

Hollie's father Stephen, of Penylan, Cardiff, wrote: "Sad news today I'm afraid. After a seven month battle with MDS Hollie passed away peacefully in her parents' arms.

"It is utterly heartbreaking and makes no sense.

"We have a million memories and take huge comfort in the number of Anthony Nolan registrations that the campaign made.

"We are sure that someday soon one of you will be asked to donate stem cells and give someone like Hollie a chance.

"Thank you all for your support. We would appreciate some time and space to try and pick ourselves up.

"Love from Hollie's Dad. The proudest Dad in the world."
