— SJA Sussex District (London & South Region) (@SJA_Sussex) May 3, 2020 12-year-old runs 26k Bella, a young runner from Hove, ran 26 kilometres to fundraise for Rockinghorse children's charity. The 12-year-old, whose been running since the age of eight, raised more than £1,750. During lockdown the Brighton Girls pupil wanted to run 5k a day, but soon found she was increasing her distance. When she heard of the 2.6 challenge, and how UK charities were missing out on £67million due to the cancellation of the London Marathon, she decided to set herself a new challenge to complete her first fundraiser event. Bella also promised that she'll complete the Brighton Marathon with her dad when she's 18.We want to say a huge WELL DONE to Bella who ran 26km yesterday! 😱 In doing so, she has raised £1, 750 for @Rockinghorse67. 👏 What an amazing achievement! @BrightonGirls @RosieMcColl #Superstar #ProudTeacher pic.twitter.com/JCc26LZdJw
