A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD from Clevedon raised �200 for Marie Curie Cancer Care during a swimming challenge.

Ruby Farrell swam 14 lengths, a total of 350m, to collect cash for the charity during a swimathon at Strode Leisure Centre in Clevedon.

Ruby, of Oldville Avenue, said: “I would like to thank everyone for sponsoring me and for all the good luck wishes and cheering on from my family, I managed to raise �200 for a really good cause, I got a fabulous medal as well.”
