Tia and Demi Best Friends Forever
Tia's Treasures began in 2011 when Tia was just 6 years old. Tia started out making bracelets for family and friends until the school which Tia attends held a fundraising event for Tia's best friend Demi who was battling Retinoblastoma.
Tia decided she would not only create bracelets but necklaces, keyrings, bag charms, mobile phone charms, earrings, rings, brooches and bookmarks too. She wanted to sell these "treasures" at the fundraising afternoon to raise money and show her support for her best friend. The afternoon was a great success.
Since the age of 6 months Demi has been battling Retinoblastoma, by the age of 8 Demi had unfortunately lost her sight in both eyes but despite being blind Demi still remains positive, she is an inspiration.
Tia realised that she could turn what had started out as a hobby into an opportunity to raise money for other children battling with Cancer by donating proceeds from the sales of her treasures to CLIC Sargent Charity Registration No. 1107328 and SC039857 and CHECT (Childhood Eye Cancer Trust) Charity Registration No. 327493
A selection of Tia's Treasures are available to purchase online via this website as well as future Fundraising Events.
