The Sun has launched Saffie’s Smile, in collaboration with the family of little Saffie-Rose Roussos – the youngest victim of the Manchester Arena terror attack.
The competition will honour Saffie’s memory, and celebrate other incredible young people aged 16 or under who go above and beyond to help others.
Our star winner will scoop two flights for a break in New York, while three runners-up will each get VIP theme park passes.
Andrew and Lisa revealed they cherished the chance to launch the prize so Saffie will be remembered for more than just the Manchester Arena tragedy.
Andrew said: “As a family, we wanted to do something positive, something uplifting and joyful, because that is what Saffie was. She was a very giving and loving child.
“To reward another child or young person who has gone above and beyond in their lives to do something good for somebody else is an amazing legacy. A lot of families do different things to remember their loved ones.
“But knowing Saffie, this is so unique for her.”
The Sun arranged for Andrew and Lisa to visit the Big Apple last week along with their son Xander, 18, and daughter Ashlee, 33, from Lisa’s first marriage to mark what would have been Saffie’s 16th birthday on July 4 to see her light up the famous Times Square billboards. Reflecting on their emotional family return, Andrew said: “Seeing Saffie’s picture up there on the big screen was fantastic.
“She loved Times Square, and if you could ask Saffie where she would want to be on her 16th, she’d have said on that billboard. It is a beautiful memory for us, thanks to The Sun.
