A family has told the world about the wonderful work an inspirational charity has done for their five year old daughter

By Jill Dando News

Kelly Mills and her daughter Penny made a charity appeal on Radio 4 for the brilliant MPS Society.

Kelly told her story of finding out about Penny’s condition of MPS III Sanfilippo, and coming to terms with what it means for their family.

She also told the BBC how the support worker, Louise, has helped them to get back precious time with their daughter. 

Kelly and Penny have also filmed documentaries and created the design of the charity’s ‘thank you’ cards.

The Radio 4 Appeal is a weekly 3 minute programme that highlights the work of a charity and appeals for donations. 

A charity spokesperson said: “It was a great opportunity for the MPS Society to reach a new audience and raise awareness of these incredibly rare conditions. 

“There are 49 appeals broadcast on Radio 4 each year and we were lucky enough to be chosen to feature in 2020.”

The MPS Society is charity of the year for 6000 students and 750 staff in The Priory Learning Trust in Somerset. The seven schools have Jill Dando News students who write good news for the schools, community, nation and world.
