Story

Eilidh Stewart (9), Iona Smith (12), Kirstie Smith (8) and Kira Graham (10) are going to walk and run the GA 5K on 18 April 2012 to raise funds for the Vanessa Riddle Appeal. Brave Vanessa has already endured many different cancer treatments in the UK—but the neuroblastoma has returned. Now Vanessa’s best chance of beating this awful cancer lie in America. Vanessa’s mum and dad hope that she can start her specialised therapy in America early this year. This potentially life-saving treatment is likely to cost at least £500,000. Vanessa’s friends and family aim to raise as much money as possible for the life-saving treatment. Please help the girls to help give Vanessa the lifeline that she so desperately needs.
