Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

About me. My name is Katie Weller, I am 15 years old and live in Milton Keynes. I live with my Mum, Dad and 2 sisters, Sarah and Emma. I play football for MK Dons Girls Centre of Excellence Under 16's and I also have a huge interest in modeling. My dream is one day to become a top fashion model and this year I have been succesful in reaching the national modeling final Miss Teen Queen UK 2009.

Why I entered Miss Teen Queen UK ?
Miss Teen Queen UK is a national modeling final held every year and is highly recognised in the fashion industry of identifying aspiring models of the future. By reaching the final it means I am one step further to my dream and it also gives me the opportunity for the first time in my life to raise money for charity for those less fortunate than me..

Why the Phillip Green Memorial Trust ?
The Philip Green Memorial Trust helps sick and disabled children all over the UK and overseas. It supports welfare, medical and educational projects as well as helping individual children to lead a normal life. The Philip Green Memorial Trust was formed in 1985 by Cyril Paskin following the death of his close friend and fellow philanthropist, Philip Green. Supported by a group of Phil's close friends, they pledged to continue the good work Phil had begun in the East End of London where he grew up. Phil's daughter Rosalind died at a very young age from meningitis, so it was decided that the majority of the Trust's efforts would be directed in helping children.

Since the Trust's inception, it has distributed in excess of £2,000,000 to over 200 organisations and individuals. The major beneficiaries of the Trust's fundraising over the last few years have been the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington; the PACE Centre at Philip Green House in Buckinghamshire; Philip Green Memorial School in Dorset; Churchtown in Cornwall; Oakleigh School in Barnet and Richard House Children's Hospice in London's East End.

The Trust not only responds to the needs of large projects but to the daily exasperation of individuals and smaller organisations for whom a little money can make dreams come true. For instance, they provided a holiday for some Mencap children whose hard earned funds were stolen by thieves.

I would also like to raise money for Phillip Green Memorial Trust as I believe it is the least I can do to help make a difference to another childs life.

If anyone thinks they can help raise funds at home or work for the Phillip Green Memorial Trust and help me get to my target I would be so grateful. You can contact me via email katie_weller93@hotmail.co.uk. I am going to need all the help I can get !
