Millie Seeney
A chatty schoolgirl will be staying schtum for nine hours to raise money for cancer research.
Millie Seeney, ten, has already raised more than £250 for the sponsored silence she is doing today.
She was inspired by Charlotte Dickson, her mum Michelle Seeney's best friend of 37 years, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last January and is now in remission.
Millie, of Beech Avenue, Halstead, is raising money for Cancer Research UK.
