A four-year-old girl currently undergoing chemotherapy at Great Ormond Street Hospital for a brain tumour has inspired six schools and more than 10 businesses to participate in Wear A Christmas Hat Day for charity, raising close to £7,000 to date. Dottie Rees, from Grays was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in September this year after complaining of headaches and vomiting. Dottie’s gruelling chemotherapy treatment, which will last at least 18 months, motivated other children including Kyra and Effie Tubman, the daughters of close family friends, to write letters to their teachers at Deneholm Primary School, Grays. They asked the school to support the charity Brain Tumour Research with their Wear A Christmas Hat campaign to help find a cure for brain tumours.

Aldenham Prep School and Nursery, near Elstree, were in the festive spirit earlier this month as they joined in the fun of Wear A Christmas Hat Day to raise funds for the charity Brain Tumour Research. The fundraiser was very close to the heart of school marketing manager Liz Beech, whose son Tom, 25, was diagnosed with a tumour when he was just a small boy.
