Brave quadriplegic receives dazzling diamond from Stoners of Harrogate
At Stoners of Harrogate, we’re really privileged to have been able to donate a £2000 diamond to help raise funds for the Being Bel Trust. This is in aid of lovely Bel Young, a ten year old local girl from Harrogate who was tragically left quadriplegic after falling off a climbing frame a year ago.
The sparkling diamond was donated as the raffle prize at a fundraising event to raise money for special equipment, therapy and care for Bel.
Raffle winner and West Yorkshire resident Nigel Jowett was so touched by Bel’s story that he donated the precious diamond to Bel and was thrilled to present it to her in person.
We, at Stoners of Harrogate, will help Bel to design her own bracelet using this diamond which has been specially named ‘Bel’s Bracelet’. Brave Bel has asked Christopher Stoner, owner of Stoners of Harrogate, to design a bracelet incorporating the letter “B” encrusted with the dazzling diamond.
Christopher Stoner said: “Bel is an inspirational young girl who is extremely courageous and it’s tremendous that we have been able to help boost her quality of life in this fundraising venture.”
We’re committed to putting back into our local communities, so we’re keen on getting involved in worthy charitable activities such as this.
We’re delighted that this story has gathered much press coverage and raised the profile of fabulous Bel.
