YOUNG Gracie-Mai Fagan has presented Burnham RNLI with a huge cheque for over £1,300 after a fantastic fundraising effort.

Several months ago, Gracie-Mai Fagan had her almost ankle length hair cut off for the Little Princess Charity, and the sponsors for this selfless act helped her raise £1,340 each for the MacMillan and RNLI Charities. 

Last week, when on holiday at Burnham-on-Sea with her family, Gracie-Mai attended Burnham-on-Sea RNLI Lifeboat station on Wednesday evening to hand over the collected funds.

The Burnham-on-Sea Lifeboat Operations Manager welcomed her and her family, and he said: “I thank you for this fantastic amount, the money will be used as part of our D class appeal.”

As it was an onshore training night, both lifeboats and their hi-tech launching tractors were on view, and Gracie-Mai and her family and friends were treated to a special tour and talk about the various items of equipment available to RNLI volunteers.
