A COMBINATION of door-to-door collections, playing her clarinet and a sponsored swim helped Laura Hebdige raise money for children suffering from cancer.

The 13-year-old from Romsey managed to raise £333.30 for youngsters on the Piam Brown ward at Southampton General Hospital.

Laura has raised nearly £1,000 for different charities in the past three years.

Mencap, People's Dispensary for Sick Animals, Romsey Hospital and the Princess Anne maternity unit at Southampton have all benefited from her efforts.

She said: "I like to do things for other children who are ill or not so lucky as me.

"I would also like to thank the Warren Social Club in Shirley and the Ritz Bingo Hall in Lordshill for supporting me."
