Girls bring Christmas joy with fundraising efforts
PA
Two schoolgirls are bringing Christmas joy to scores of people.
Amelia Portlock and Millie Newman raised more than £1,200 to buy gifts for people affected by cancer, pensioners, the homeless and families in crisis.
They have also hand-written 120 letters to go with the gifts.
The two Year 8 pupils at Wycliffe Preparatory School in Gloucestershire raised money by completing a 12-hour car wash, a 12-hour tennis marathon, a 16-mile cycle ride and a 10-mile walk.
“Our goal was to put a smile on people’s faces this Christmas. We’re both very passionate about helping the lonely and those less fortunate than us,” said Millie, 12, from Quedgeley, Gloucester.
