The extraordinary nine-year-old whose rainbow creations raised £13K for Warrington Hospital

FOR Macy Owen, 2020 has been a whirlwind. The extraordinary nine-year-old from Grappenhall has dedicated her year to raising £13,000 for Warrington Hospital in the midst of a global pandemic - earning herself a well-deserved thank you from Boris Johnson. Macy s efforts have seen her labelled a local celebrity after she started selling her handmade beaded rainbows to fund treats and care packages for NHS staff and patients. Recalling his daughter s kind-hearted gesture, proud dad Don said: We were originally hoping to raise a few hundred pounds from family and friends - we never imagined it would escalate as it did. Originally, Macy made a rainbow to hang in my car, and was then asked by her Nana Sue to make one and she would buy it from her.
