A group of primary school pupils gave up their free time at school to raise funds for an Inglewood woman.
Emily Tippet and Tatjana Hanne, both 11 years old, say they wanted to help Emily Foreman, an Inglewood woman who has to raise more than $60,000 to fund life-prolonging treatment for her cancer.
After reading of Emily's plight in the Stratford Press, Emily and Tatjana decided to help, despite never having met Emily themselves.
The youngsters, who both attend St Joseph's School in Stratford, got permission from the school to organise and run a mini-market last Friday, during the school's grandparents day. They were helped by a group of their friends.
"We asked people to bring in stuff to be sold," says Emily, "and everyone in the school came through to buy things."
