TWINS Kieran and Ethan Finley-Thayre, both students at Okehampton College (pictured), organised a successful ukulele evening and buffet recently to raise funds for their five-year-old cousin Maddie.

The twins organised the event with Brian Poole at Waterbridge Golf Course near Crediton to help pay for Maggie’s treatment.

Maddie suffers from Cri-du-chat syndrome and cannot walk or talk and has to be fed through a tube in her stomach.

Despite this, the twins say, she is a very happy little girl who gets excited whenever they go and see her. The boys, who have a regular stall at Lapford Market, are pictured saying a big thank you to everyone who has supported them to help Maddie.
