Hannah Helps Martha
Hannah, one of Martha's neighbours, decided she wanted to do some fundraising for Martha and completed a sponsored swim collecting an amazing £171.
Hannah managed to swim 25 lengths of the pool. Many thanks to Hannah and her Mum and Dad for all their hard work in completing the sponsored swim and collecting such a fantastic amount of money for Martha - it really is appreciated.
