Guiding star Grace 'a bit overwhelmed' to receive top award
Bristol Post
|October 03, 2025
A BRISTOL Guide who is passionate about raising awareness of her rare limb condition is looking forward to celebrating achieving a top Girlguiding award.
Grace Akerman, 10, from Stoke Gifford, who was born with a condition called Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD) meaning her right leg was 30 per cent shorter than her left, will join hundreds of fellow award recipients at the Girlguiding Celebrates event next month.
Grace, who has had numerous operations and now wears a custom-built prosthetic blade, will be celebrating her ‘Guiding Star’ award, a rare accolade which is only presented to truly exceptional young Girlguiding members and volunteers.
“I feel so proud to have been given a Guiding Star because it is such a special award,” said Grace. “I was a bit overwhelmed when I found out that my leaders had taken the time to nominate me.”
