Redditch Editorial 23rd Feb, 2020   0

THE FAMILY of brave 11-year-old Finlay Church who lost his brain tumour battle in 2015 are taking centre stage in a campaign to raise awareness and funds of the disease.

Fin’s mum and dad Penny and Wayne, his siblings Kenzie, 14, and Tegan, ten, and his grandparents Mary Shephard, James and Cynthia Church are urging people to take part in Wear a Hat Day on March 27.

Now in its 11th year the drive has raised more than £1.25million in the fight against the disease.

Fin helped of break the Guinness World Record for creating the longest line of teddy bears and was also named a Child of Courage at the Pride of Birmingham Awards.

People can also text HAT to 70450 to donate £5 to the cause.
