A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD fundraiser has walked for seven miles to raise money for St Helena Hospice for the second year in a row.

Evie-May Heath, of Third Avenue, Dovercourt, was inspired to help the charity after members of staff from the hospice visited her class at St Joseph’s Primary School, in Dovercourt.

She walked along the promenade from Clacton to Walton in two hours and one minute, and has raised £100.

Mum Christie said: “She aims to continue to support the charity by participating in next year’s event, with the aim of completing the course in under two hours."

Evie-May raised the money through family, friends and a Just Giving page.
