Best friends who became even closer when they both developed diabetes have raised hundreds of pounds to find a cure for the disease.
Gracie Spandler, from Rawdon, and Briony Farr, from Esholt, held a dinner-dance to raise a total of ?930 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
By a strange quirk of fate the two girls, who have been friends since the age of three, both developed type 1 diabetes within a year of each other.
The girls, now both 12, gave a moving speech ? taking it in turns to describe the impact diabetes has had on their lives.
They said: ?Type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with lifestyle, your weight, or eating too many sweets.
