A Lichfield schoolgirl has walked at least four miles a day for a month to raise money for a local charity.

Nine-year-old Ella Ho decided to take on the challenge in aid of St Giles Hospice after the organisation cared for a terminally ill relative in 2018.

She will complete her 30-day walking challenge with a final four miles on Saturday (16th May).

Ella’s father Wie-Men said:

> “St Giles Hospice is close to our hearts as they looked after my wife’s cousin during her final days as she lost her battle to cancer in 2018.  
>  
> “St Giles were amazing and so supportive towards the whole family, and still are.  
>  
> “Ella decided to challenge herself during lockdown, so every day for 30 days she decided to walk at least four miles to raise much-needed funds for the hospice.”  
>  
> Wie-Men Ho

The St Michael’s Primary School pupil’s efforts have been boosted by messages of support online.

Wie-Men added:

> “Sophia Candappa, a Wasps netball player, sent her a video message which really made her day and motivated her even more.  
>  
> “Ella only set out to raise £100 but so far she’s raised £1,400, which is amazing.”  
>
