So far Daisy has raised over £1,000 for Pendleside Hospice and she has become a familiar sight on the hill with many walkers stopping to say hello and make a donation.

Daisy usually walks with her dad, Danny, and several family and friends joined the pair for the 26th walk to make it a really special event.

A pupil at St Mary's CE Primary School, Newchurch in Pendle, Daisy came up with the idea for the walk when she saw volunteers collecting for the hospice during a trip into Burnley town centre with her dad.

The duo are often joined by Daisy's mum Sam and the rest of the family who are Poppy, who is Daisy's twin sister, brother Jack (six) and little sister Molly who is two.
