Add a leaf to Nicola’s ‘Garden of Hope’

http://www.gardenofhope.co.uk/tree.php?v=6

Nicola Roberts has become involved in the Lowe Syndrome Trust ‘Garden of Hope’ campaign.

The Garden of Hope is a campaign to raise one million pounds within ten months for Lowe Syndrome research. The syndrome affects the brain, eyes, kidneys, bones and muscles sadly leading to a short life expectancy. Symptoms of the disease seem endless…cataracts, glaucoma, seizures, epilepsy, arthritis, scoliosis, weak bones and muscles, rickets, kidney wasting. Some children are blind, some never walk or talk dependent on the severity of the disease.

Click on a celebrity garden and place your leaf on the tree. Donate £5 and write a personal message. Your leaf will then be displayed on the tree. Of course you can add a leaf to more than one celebrity tree to help raise the money needed.

Nicola’s Garden of Hope is here: http://www.gardenofhope.co.uk/tree.php?v=6
