The last week has been busy! Last Friday, we held a bake
sale at school. I wasn’t expecting much to come of it to be honest. I thought
that it would be a small event which no one would really notice. This, however,
proved to be completely wrong! We had at least thirty different people donate around
twenty cakes each, plus other things like bookmarks and raffle prizes. The
cakes were each sold at around 30-50p and we had two big cakes to raffle off, so
by the end of the day we had raised nearly £550.
It was brilliant – the queue
stretched around the school and me and my friends had to go around asking
people whether they had specific orders or else they wouldn’t have been served in
time! It was so much fun and it was all my sister Holi’s idea; I can’t thank
her enough.
The other big event thing to happen this week was being
featured on the BBC 3 Counties Radio Health Show! Just this morning, we were
all interviewed live on the radio and it was the scariest thing I’ve ever done.
We arrived early and were sent through to the waiting room where we all freaked
out for 20 minutes. We were then beckoned in by the producer and introduced to
Nana, our interviewer. She explained what was going to happen and checked our
microphones and then suddenly we were on air! She asked me about the condition,
its impact on my life and the different options I have.
After listening to it
back, I think that it went okay. At one point my mind went blank and I had to
mouth ‘help me’ at mum, but luckily you can’t hear it! It was certainly an
experience that I will never forget. You can listen to it on the BBC 3 Counties
Radio website :)
