Keeping their mum's memory alive
13-year-old Thomas and his 10-year-old brother Harry lost their mum to cancer earlier this year. With their dad too distraught to organise a fundraising event in her memory, Thomas and Harry set out on a secret mission to single-handedly do it themselves.
Thomas found a venue - a place where he remembered the whole family had once had a great day out - persuaded local entertainers to perform for nothing and local businesses to contribute to a raffle. The event was a huge success, and as far as Thomas is concerned, just the start of his fundraising campaign.

I thought the interview with Thomas was inspirational. He spoke incredibly well for a 13 year old, although his actions spoke louder than any words ever could. He and his brother are a credit to their family.
Any idea what the facebook group is called that promotes school kids getting involved in charity work?
