A schoolgirl was so touched by her uncle's health battle she pledged to do all she could to help.
Heidi Barker, from Great Sutton, raised more than £16,500 for Alzheimer's Research UK after covering a staggering 603 miles, the equivalent of walking from Land's End to John O'Groats. Heidi mounted the challenge in honour of her great uncle Ian, who was diagnosed with the disease in autumn 2020.
Having completed the incredible feat last summer and made headlines, eight-year-old Heidi soon spoke of the next challenge she has set herself, to cycle more than 200-miles, the equivalent of London to Paris. Making a start on April 13 this year, dad David said her selfless acts have them in tears.
