Well done Fin and his pals Harry & Rowan!

This morning, Cllr Mike Smith and I had the enormous pleasure and honour to attend a fund raising event in Bourton Park. What made this event particularly notable was that it was initiated by young lad called Fin, with help from his friends, to raise money for the hospital where his Mum, Emma is being treated for a brain tumour.

There are some people in the world who talk, and there are some who talk and then take action. Fin is one of those people to take action and he is a fraction of the age of most people who will be reading this blog! Who knows what he will be doing as he gets older: I am anticipating lots! Perhaps he is a future entrepreneur, captain of industry, prime minister or even, possibly... a Town Councillor!

So very well done Fin. And well done Emma for being his amazing (and I am know, very proud) Mum.

There is plenty of time to donate to the cause which is linked here.

Meanwhile, here are a couple of pics. With this one, how can you not want to donate some more money to this very worthy cause! (This is Emma with her daughter Niamh, Fin's sister, holding the collection bucket)

And here is Fin (in blue hat on my right) with his friends Harry & Rowan either side at the front. And behind are all the children who helped them run in a relay for an hour. Well done to everyone who ran and helped organised today!

This wasn't just a fund raising event: this was a community event that brought people together in a spirit of support for Fin and his Mum.
