South London star helps toddler

Thursday, 18 June 2009

A TODDLER who lost his legs after contracting meningitis is set to benefit
from the fundraising efforts of a South London star.

Lucreta La Pierre won the South London Press very first Star of South London
Heroes award in 2004, four years after our campaign was launched.

She has now decided to start raising money for Lewisham-born Harvey Parry
after meeting his mum in the street last month.

The prosthetic limbs Harvey needs so he can learn to walk are only available
from a private clinic in the US and are very expensive.

The three-year-old lost his legs when he was just 22 months old.

Lucreta, a full-time volunteer who lives in Catford, won the award for her
Sickle Cell Society fundraising efforts.

She continues raising money for charity through her church, a theatre, family
and friends.

- For a full interview with her, see the South London Press on Friday.
