AN inspirational young volunteer has raised £1,000 for charity in memory of her grandfather after a month of hard work.

Isabelle Butler, 11, is a youth volunteer and often helps out at The Witham Hub, based in the Grove Shopping Centre.

Little Isabelle has raised a great sum of money for charity after successfully taking on Cancer Research UK’s October Skipping Challenge.

She completed the challenge of doing 100 skips per day with a skipping rope, for the entire month of October and has raised an incredible £1,000 from local sponsors, for cancer research.

Isabelle has dedicated her fundraising efforts to her late grandfather, Mick Giles, who sadly passed away from cancer in September. 

She was so determined to beat the challenge legitimately, she arranged for her skips to be recorded on video. 

On a couple of occasions, the recording didn’t cover the skips, so Isabelle repeated them until they were properly recorded.

Witham Hub founder and chair of trustees Tina Townsend expressed her pride for the inspirational youngster.

She said: “This is a marvellous achievement and were are really proud of Isabelle. 

“Her dedication and commitment were hugely impressive and the team at the Hub got together and donated £150.00 to her fundraising challenge.

“She’s a real star, so we were delighted to support her efforts and we are very pleased to have her in the Youth Division at the Hub.”
