A song for Emma Hoolin

My friend Rachel was asked to record a special song for Emma called “I Won’t Let Go” by Rascal Flatts. She then created a YouTube video of the song.

The recording took place today at Bridgnorth Endowed school in the UK where Rachel lives. Two teachers at the school heard about what she wanted to do and they stayed late after their working day had ended. They gave their time and expertise absolutely free of charge. (Thank you!)

It is our hope that the YouTube video drives thousands of people to Emma’s site to donate or to help raise funds for this brave and amazing little girl.   You can find out more here and donate at the page Rachel set up here or at the main donation page here.
