Eight-year-old Harry, who lives with a primary immunodeficiency, recently led a touching fundraising effort with his classmates that reminds us how compassion and generosity can start at any age.
Over the past few months, Harry and his school friends have been busy crafting colourful loom band bracelets. They decided to sell them to other children at school, turning their creativity into a meaningful way to give back.
When asked why he wanted to take part, Harry’s answer was simple — and unforgettable:
“I wanted to make money for them because they do so much to help me.”
Those were his exact words. At just eight years old, Harry’s kindness and gratitude are a powerful reminder of the impact our work has — and why it matters.
It’s gestures like this — thoughtful, genuine, and full of heart — that keep us going.
From all of us at Immunodeficiency UK: Thank you, Harry, and thank you to his wonderful friends, teachers, and everyone who supported their fundraiser. You’re helping us continue our mission to support families, fund vital resources, and raise awareness across the UK.
If Harry’s story has inspired you, why not get involved? Whether it’s a bake sale, a sponsored walk, or a creative idea of your own — every effort makes a difference.
