John Low, Chief Executive of the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), has paid tribute
to 11-year-old Harry Moseley, an inspiring young fundraiser, who has died.

Harry was diagnosed with a brain tumour four years ago and since then has raised
hundreds of thousands of pounds for Brain Tumour UK and Cancer Research UK by making
and selling bracelets. His ‘Help Harry Help Others’ campaign has inspired many others
to fundraise for those charities. In 2009 he was voted ‘Britain’s Kindest Kid’, 
CAF and Five News’ initiative to recognise and reward the achievements of kids who
have done amazing things to help a charity, their community, or an individual.

John Low paid tribute saying: “This is a very sad day. Harry’s campaign touched 
thousands of people and raised a staggering amount of money. Despite his illness
he worked tirelessly making bracelets to help others suffering from cancer. He was
truly an inspiration and really deserved the title Britain’s Kindest Kid.”

Harry’s achievement was also recognised by Richard Taylor, Executive Director of
Fundraising & Marketing at Cancer Research UK. He said: “Harry was an inspiration
to children and adults alike in his quest to raise awareness of brain cancer through
his campaign ‘Help Harry Help Others’. He single handedly raised over £85,000 for
brain cancer research by fundraising and selling hand-made bracelets.

“He also helped Cancer Research UK raise hundreds of thousands of pounds by supporting
our work and speaking about his illness at events.”
