She started her first challenge on May 15 and she plans to do complete the challenged over a period of a couple of weeks.

Keavey said: "I have been learning about Captain Sir Tom Moore at school and what he did for charity before he sadly died, he inspired me so much I wanted to set myself my own challenge.

"One of my best friends Sabrina has diabetes and I want to help her and other children and adults like her.

"Cancer is effecting so many people and I just really want to help in any way that I can."

Keavey is aiming to raise £1,000 but is hoping to raise as much as possible.

Abby Chilton, Keavey's stepmum, said: "Keavey is an old soul, kind hearted and selfless. She just wants to make the world a better place.

"Her target is £1,000 but would love to make as much as possible.

"Keavey was worried at the beginning that she wouldn't reach £100, but did in the first 30 minutes."
