Eight-year-old girl gives up birthday presents to help Ukrainian crisis

An eight-year-old girl from Bristol is planning to give up all of her birthday presents for a second year running and instead support a local food bank, which is now helping support the Ukrainian crisis.

Luna has asked friends and families for contributions and donations to local food banks instead of receiving birthday presents. On top of this, she has now begun a massive fundraiser for Bristol North West Food Bank to help as well.

She is trying to swim the entire length of the English Channel in less than 100 days, by completing laps at her local swimming pool in Stoke Bishop. To swim the whole length of the channel which is around 21 miles, she will have to complete 2,276 laps of the 14.5-metre long swimming pool.
