Story

Ollie is an 8 year old boy from Cumbria with a huge heart wanting to make a difference and help people in need. Ollie has decided that he (along with friends and family) will do a sponsored walk from Ulverston to Barrow - an amazing 8 miles!! All to raise money for those suffering 🇺🇦 

At the beginning of last week Ollie became quiet and quite teary, which, even though our Ol has a giant heart and is a big softie this wasn’t like him at all.  
After a bit of encouragement to talk about what was going on he opened up. He told us how they watch news round as part of their daily activities at school and it had really effected him, it had upset him to see what was going on and he couldn’t understand why people could be so cruel - he felt completely helpless.
Over the last week he has been racking his brain on how he could help and this is what he came up with! 

As a family we are extremely proud of Ollie and the amazing passion that he has to help those in need  💙💛

Any sponsor, little or large would be greatly received! Together a little means a lot ✨
