My name is Sophie Wallace and I have been selected as a regional finalist in this years Crown and Glory Scotland, competing in the 'Miss' division.

Crown and Glory UK fundraise for Deans Journey, an appeal which is supported by Solving Kids Cancer.

Dean Pulpett was diagnosed with stage four high-risk neuroblastoma aged three.  Now aged nine he is clear of the disease but has been left with long-term side effects from treatment:

• permanent use of bilateral hearing aids
• permanent use of glasses
• use of orthesis to support, align, prevent or correct deformities and improve function of movable body parts.  

With a high risk of relapse, it is important to raise vital funds to support Dean, his family and those in similar situations if this should happen.

I urge you to give generously, but even the smallest of donations make a difference.

Thank you.
