LILLY'S STORY... Lilly has started her Charitable fundraising journey since 2022, at only age 6, and has now raised over £5000 to date so far! This year August 2026, Lilly, now age 10, is taking on her biggest challenge yet... the tallest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis!!! 4,413 feet high in the heart of Scotland Lilly is also targeting to raise over £20,000 for other children before she turns 18. Lillys Previous completed Challenges: In 2022 during October Half term Lilly (Age 6 at the time) ‍Cycled a Marathon, 26 miles with a joint bicycle attachment to support Children in Need. This was a very proud moment as Lilly embraced her fears as she still couldn't even cycle without stabilisers and her very first cycle without, was on this 26-mile fundraising event. In 2023 Lilly (Age 7) Completed a Marathon on foot, from Worthing to Brighton Marina and back again! A slightly overshot 29.4miles in just over 11 hours! In 2024 Lilly (Age 8) Climbed Mount Snowden!.. the tallest peak in Wales! 2025, Lilly, (Age 9) completed the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge as part of the Children in Need Challenge Yourself to 25! Lilly walked over 25miles, over the 3 Yorkshire Peaks in just over 12.5hours finishing just before dark! I try and teach Lilly that a lot of Children don't have such an easy life as we both do. Many have different disabilities, mental or physical or are even carers for their own parents. BBC Children in Need is the BBC’s UK corporate charity. Our vision is that every child in the UK has a childhood which is safe, happy and secure and allows them the chance to reach their potential.
