Burnham-On-Sea singer Lyra Cole, 7, to release third charity single this Easter
A Burnham-On-Sea brain tumour survivor hopes to raise spirits and boost people’s mental wellbeing at Easter with the release of a new charity single.
Lyra Cole, 7, is releasing a cover of Toy Story’s ‘You’ve got a friend in me’ on Good Friday to raise money for In Charley’s Memory, the local mental health charity.
Lyra, who had a brain tumour the size of an orange successfully removed when she was a baby, hopes the song can cheer up people in tough times.
It will be her third charity single – her two previous songs, Shakin’ Stevens’ Merry Christmas Everyone and When A Child is Born, were both successful in raising money for Brain Tumour Research.
