Big-hearted Travis holds NHS fundraiser
Eight-year-old Travis McDowell has autism so having his head shaved was a brave fundraiser for him to embark upon. His mum Cheryl said: “My wee Travis who has autism - and a massive heart along with it - has decided to shave his head and make wee bracelets to raise funds for the NHS after our granny/great granny Theresa Stirling was taken into hospital last week, very ill.
“We have set up a donation page that will raise money for the MAU (Medical Assessment Unit) department in Causeway Hospital. Travis has a target of £1,000.
