Youngsters Challenge Themselves To Raise Money For Isle Of Wight Foodbank

Two Island youngsters have set themselves a challenge to raise money for the Isle of Wight Foodbank.

Seven year olds, Layla and Florence, will be completing a 3km run - weather permitting - in Bembridge today (Sunday).

After setting an initial target of £50, the amount raised now stands at almost an incredible £1,600.

They've been overwhelmed by the support of Islanders.

The girls said:

"It was an idea we had over one of our many FaceTime chats during lockdown 3.

"We will be running (socially distanced and safely in our household bubbles) on Sunday morning.

"We hope we will be able to finish it - and it's not raining."
