Little Champion of the Year
FLORA GENTLEMAN
FLORA is a five-year-old from Aberlady, now living in Haddington, who has shown incredible bravery since she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer aged just two. Since then she has spent much of her life receiving treatment but has dealt with it all bravely.
Unfortunately, last year, Flora’s cancer returned and she is having to undergo further treatment.
Flora’s parents hope to once again raise funds to enrol her on another vaccine trial.
ANNALISE KELLY
ANNALISE decided to cut off much of her hair and donate it to the Little Princess Trust, a charity which provides real hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their hair through cancer or other illnesses, free of charge.
The youngster, from Prestonpans, selflessly donated before in 2021 but this time has taken it further with 12 inches of hair.
Annalise raised more than £1,250 as part of her fundraising.
RUARIDH MUIR
RUARIDH is an 11-year-old from Aberlady who ran a mile every hour for 24 hours in a fundraising challenge for Alzheimer Scotland, as his gran has the disease.
Mum Lucy was proud of her son’s efforts and said afterwards: “It was like a really massive, fun and exciting but stressful and exhausting weekend.”
The youngster raised more than £5,000 through his efforts.
BODHI WATSON
BODHI Watson, a P1 pupil at Law Primary School, North Berwick, raised more than £250 for a North Berwick group by selling off his baby toys.
Kind-hearted Bodhi collected
£285 for the Kindness Cooperative, which supports people in the area struggling financially.
The primary school pupil came up with the idea on his own as a way to raise some funds.
His mum Wendy was proud
of the youngster and said: “It was his idea to raise money by selling his baby toys for those who do not have enough money to buy what they need.
“His donation has helped provide essential support for families in the community.”
