Dear Grace Competition
2008-2009 Events
Cora McCloskey was fortune enough to have her letter published in the "Dear
Grace" book. Below is her account of the experience.
OUR EXPERIENCE OF THE DEAR GRACE COMPETITION -Cora McCloskey helped by Chloe Pyke
Before Christmas, everyone in fifth and sixth class entered the 'Dear Grace' competition. We all had to write a letter to Grace. It was like writing to our penpal. The Grace Nolan foundation was set up by Grace's parents. In 1999 Grace died from a blood disease so her parents decided to set up a foundation so that children could write to Gracea about their life or anything they wanted to. The money that was raised went towards a centre for other children that have the same disease. In December a parcel came to the school. It was for me!! It included a Newbridge fame and a copy of the 'Dear Grace' book. I was one of the winners!!. There were fifty four winners and we all got our letters published in the 'Dear Grace' book.
