My life: Zoe Mace, 10, Whitney

1 min read
We were in McDonald's and there was this woman going around selling key chains to help raise 15m to complete a children's hospital. And because my sister Jodie needed to have an operation and my mum said I sounded like Charlotte Church I decided to record a CD to raise money for the hospital.

We did eight tracks in just one day and I was scared as I thought theproducer would say I wasn't good enough, but he said it was really good.I was able to do it because my little sister, Jodie, was supporting meall the way. She was the perfect sister and no-one can replace her. Thefirst thing I always remember about her is her smile.

I then did a second CD to raise money for the Down's SyndromeAssociation since they gave us so much support because we didn't evenknow what Down's Syndrome was when Jodie was born.

The CD has sold a lot and raised a lot of money. It feels so good thatI've managed to do this. I have been on GMTV but I still get up, go toschool and live in a normal area which I would rather do than lots ofconcerts.
