Fundraising for Little Princess Trust
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This cycle is in aid of the Little Princess Trust, Rebecca's favourite charity.
"The Little Princess Trust was launched in 2006 by the parents of Hannah Tarplee, along with help from friends and from Hannah’s school, Hereford Cathedral Junior School.Hannah was the original Little Princess. Sadly she was diagnosed with having a Wilms tumour and after a brave battle, died in 2005.
At that time, finding high quality wigs for children was very difficult and only after a long search was a suitable company eventually found which made a wig for Hannah. She very much enjoyed wearing her wig, particularly on special occasions.
After Hannah passed away, so many kind people offered help, financial and practical. Hannah’s parents, Wendy and Simon decided that the most fitting way to use this help was to launch a charity dedicated to providing specialist real hair children’s wigs. Like so many Little Princesses, Hannah loved her hair and losing it was very traumatic.
Since its inception, the charity has now helped thousands of boys and girls. We work with suppliers throughout the UK and Ireland, all of whom supply beautiful, real hair wigs. We continue to look for new suppliers all the time."
So for 4 days, covering more than 300 miles, visiting 2 European capital cities for 1 great challenge, I'll be doing all I can to raise much needed funds for this more than deserving cause. I completed the same cycle in 2007 - photographic evidence on my profile - so lets see if I still have knees up to the task ten years later!
