Pupils stop out for charity

THOUGHTFUL pupils got out their walking boots and stepped up to raise £789 for two worthwhile causes.

Youngsters from Northfield Lane Primary School in Wickersley took part in a sponsored walk and decided to share the money between the school and Histiocytosis UK–a charity dedicated to supporting people with the cancer-like condition.

The children chose Histiocytosis UK because one of the pupils, Madison Boyle, has a brother, Mitchell (2), who was born with the condition.

Their mum, Emma Boyle, said that she was delighted to receive a cheque for £380 from the kind-hearted children.

She said: "I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the children and staff at Northfield  for helping raise this money."
