About:
10-year-old Maisie Catt recently completed a marathon in her Yorkshire garden. But what makes this physical challenge amazing, is that this young lady lost both her legs to meningitis and septicaemia when she was just a baby.
Inspired by the work of fellow Yorkshireman Captain Tom Moore, Maisie challenged herself to walk 2.6 miles per day, in her garden or on a treadmill, over the course of 10 days, in a bid to raise £260 for LimbPower.
Having initially set her sights on raising a modest £260, when our friends at Scriba PR heard about Maisie’s challenge, they sprang into action and got in touch with the UK media to help spread the word…and she’s had quite the response.
To date, Maisie has appeared in the local newspaper, been interviewed by The Yorkshire Post and appeared on ITV, BBC and Sky News. She’s also received mentions on Twitter from MPs, authors and even Captain Tom himself!
But the best part? She smashed her original fundraising target and has now raised over £10,000 – and counting. Buoyed by the response, she’s going to continue walking until the donations cease.
Knowing what a superb bunch of OMBLES we have, we’d like to use the power of our community to congratulate Maisie on everything she’s achieved so far and encourage her to keep up the fantastic work.. You can share fun quickfire ideas, posters, designs, illustrations, sketches, scribbles or whatever else that comes to mind.
Until this brief goes live, Maisie has absolutely no idea we have this planned for her.
