Story

Hi every one , I am doing this Just giving page for my two oldist girls Courtney-Jade 8 & Ellie 6 , the next part will be told by Courtney as she wonted to say what they are doing and why x 

Hi my name is Courtney and me and my sister are going to have our long hair's cut really short into a bob's to raise awareness and money for are familys charitys . 

When I was 2 sister Ellie was born and my mummy became poorly , She use to work and I would stay with my childminder shrliy and Just after she had Ellie she went back to work nights so my Daddy could lookafter us after he finnished work  but after a few months of that she became poorly . At the time they diddnt think it was much to worry about and that mummy was just worn out with looking after me and Ellie but she never got better only worse . Over the years mummy has been in hospital loads of times and they were really nice and helpful they can't make her better at the moment as there's nothing that they can do but maybe one day they might find away and she will be back to the way she was before she got poorly .

Our baby Sister Holly and brother Zack go to Hospital as they  Have Hypomobility , Zack doesn't have it as bad as Holly but Holly cry's loads as she gets worn out and in pain alot. They use the new children's unit the lady that help's them and we come too if were off and its fun now the Stars appeal have helped make the new childrens unit fun theres always something to do there .

Just before Christmas last year mummy had a big fit at home she has them all the time but this one was a big one and Daddy had to get the Ambulance out again and the Air Ambulance had to come too . When she came out of hospital she said about giving somthing back to the hospital to say thankyou for all the help she has had over the years and for all the help Holly and Zack have had too , as mummy can't do the run or walk because she's not aload out the house with out her wheelchair.  After having a chat with Daddy Mum said She would Shave all her hair off not only did she shave her hair off I also Dyed a bit of my hair pink . we raised just under £700.00 and my mummy's hair went to a little charity that makes wig's for ill boys and girls called the little princess trust .

After me and my mum did so well with our last sponsor Me and Ellie wonted to do some thing too .We desided as our Hair was really long and we wont it cut shorted we desided to get it cut and the hair that's cut off can go to a little girl to make her happy again and we thought this time the money can be given to the pembroke unit ,they help people with blood disorders and helps people who have cancer . 

We can't wait to get our hair cut and mummy said this time she would take us to a hair salon so we can get its washed cut and blowdryed as a treat now were older .

Thank you for reading our story and thank you for your help, and from the help of Mummy and Daddy me and Ellie couldn't have done this x
