And Hettie age 7 went to Macklin Road playpark with a 100 number rock long kindness rock snake, inviting people to take a rock and to rehide elsewhere encouraging them to make a donation as well.

She said .”I'm really proud of them both for thinking up their own challenges and putting their efforts into the fundraising”
