Annie Miller has earmarked a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar for consumption on New Year’s Day, having given up chocolate for the entirety of 2019 to raise more than £1,000 for charity.
The 12-year-old JCoSS pupil, who will be batmitzvah at Barnet Synagogue this month, is supporting Noah’s Ark children’s hospice and the North London Hospice, where her beloved grandma Melinda Lewis died in 2012.
She has also been donating a chocolate hamper to charity each month so others can benefit from the confectionery that that she has forsworn.
Annie said she wanted to help Noah’s Ark because “however ill the children are, they deserve to be able to play and to enjoy themselves. Noah’s Ark gives them that opportunity.”
