Story

Hi, I'm Mia and I am 12 years old.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

One of my fundraisers I'm doing is: challenging myself into doing 150km of Sports over 16 Weeks (ends 1st July)

The reason why I have made it a challenge is because, for the children who have a shorter time to live it's challenging, therefore, I thought I would challenge myself as well. 

Another way I am raising money is by selling all our unwanted stuff on:

This is how it works:

  1. Pick an item in our online shop and make a bid. Do this for as many items as you like;

  2. Secure your bids/reservations with a £0.10 processing fee for each item at the checkout;

  3. The highest bidder wins the 5-day long auction unless someone buys the item;

  4. As soon as the donation for the chosen item has cleared to the chosen charity the pickup/local delivery is arranged;

  5. Enjoy your goods at a fraction of their high-street value and a feeling of social conscience!


As a result, both a buyer and a seller would have:

  1. Improved the quality of life of children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions;

  2. Helped the Earth by reusing the good stuff and keeping it out of landfills;

  3. Promoted the concept of recycling;

  4. Helped to  reduce the demand for unnecessary manufacturing causing the pollution increase;

  5. Freed up own or someone else's living space;

  6. Promoted the concept of conscious spending;

  7. Experienced generosity and a feeling of social conscience!


All children's' goods that have not found a new home by the end of each month will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London.


I would be very grateful if you could donate. I think every child should have an Amazing, Happy, and Equal life. You can help the less fortunate children by donating.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
