Proceeds from the Little Miss Tessa campaign will go to the Tessa Garry Trust to fund Tessa’s treatment.
If it occurs that there is money left over , it will be held in the trust fund in the event that Tessa requires treatment in the future. In the event that Tessa does not require treatment, the money will be donated to a charity/trust.
The Tessa Garry Trust is a registered trust.
The members of the trust are:
