Friends are pulling together to send a three-year-old to America for stem cell therapy.

Sharon Graham and Gary Harding completed the first of many fund-raising events to send their friend's daughter Evie-Mae Fleet for help with her cerebral palsy.

The pair of organisers arranged a five kilometre sponsored walk with friends and family, which raised £2500.

Mrs Graham's two granddaughters aged six and eight managed the walk and on their way they collected £450 in collection buckets.

The two girls were also joined by the Blue Starz Cheerleaders.

Dorchester Primary School and it's Head Teacher; Louise Austin arranged a charity event of their own which generated a further £400.

The next fundraiser is a Celebrity Football Match to be held at Imber Court Sports Ground, East Molesey, Esher, Surrey on Sunday 21 April with a kick off at 1pm.

If anyone would like to make any donations of raffle prizes or auction gifts for this event, email eviemaefundraising@hotmail.co.uk.
