It’s always good to read about entrepreneurial fundraisers, and even better to hear
that they’re starting at an ever younger age. [IcSurreyOnline ](http://icsurreyonline.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/0800redhillandreigate/tm_headline=seven-year-old-twins-set-up-card-business&method=full&objectid=18127212&siteid=50101-name_page.html)
reports that two seven-year-old twins have set up a home-made Christmas card business
to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Megan and Elizabeth O’Shea, from Redhill, are planning to produce 1,000 cards and
sell them in packs of 10, with profits being donated to the charity. They’re serious:
they’ve even set up a community business bank account for the business. The cards
will also be sold at the Redhill branch of the Woolwich during December.
