Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.


My name is grace I am 11 years old and I really want to help a little girl called Sophia 

I seen a story on Sophia and it made me so upset and all I wanted to do was give Sophia a hug and tell her it will be ok 

Sophia has cerebral palsy and is in urgent need of an operation to help her walk  

So I led awake that night thinking of her and I can't understand why the NHS won't help her 

The next day while brushing my hair I thought I needed to get it cut because it is so long and then I thought if I could get sponsored to do it I could give the money to Sophia 

So this is what I'm doing 

I'm also going to donate my hair to charity 

I know it's not much of a challenge but I'm very fond of my hair and have been growing it for 4 years 

Sophia being able to walk one day is so much more important then my hair xx

Please give as much as you can every penny helps 

Gracie xx
