Brave girl Thank you for the beautiful article and lovely photos of my beautiful granddaughter Chyanne Bevan (WD , Feb 24). Despite her trials and tribulations over the years, she has still had time for others. Her fur babies are not only Sid and Mini Cooper, but also a rabbit called Peter and a kitten named Pixie. They are all part of her beloved family, as well as her parents’ dogs B lade and Hana. Chyanne is a warm, loving girl and has only gone public with her rare condition in case there are others out there suffering, not knowing what is wrong and why they are gaining weight. Again, thank you for the beautiful photos and shining a light on this difficult illness. Heather, Wellington Inspiring the young A few years ago, our school decided to create a Walk of Greatness display. This involved students researching a Kiwi they thought was a great role model. One of the students selected Charlie Thomas because of her love of wildlife. It was great to read in your recent issue ( , Feb 24) that Charlie is still a dedicated environmentalist, and I wish her luck for her adventure in Hawaii. S Goodall, Christchurch Mum’s the word I was sorry to read of Duchess Kate’s struggle (WD , Feb 10) as she balances long work hours, time with her family and the stress of Harry and Meghan le aving. Add the pressure of constantly being on show and some sleepless nights, and the strain could certainly affect her mental health. I admire all mothers who juggle multiple jobs, and we should support the mums we know. Lynda, Napier $100 winner $50 winner
