Emme-Rose Deakin, 6, ran a mile a day in January, raising £1,443 for the Bay Hospitals Charity.
Then in February, eight-year-old Lilli-Mae Archer took on a 5K a day challenge and raised a further £1,705.
To say thank you for their fundraising efforts, University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust chief nurse and deputy chief executive Sue Smith OBE has invited Emme-Rose and Lilli-Mae to visit Furness General Hospital for a tour.
Lilli-Mae Archer
An eight-year-old girl from Barrow plans to walk 5km every day this month to raise money for Bay Hospitals Charity.
Lilli-Mae Archer raised more than £1,500 for the charity last year when she cycled 53 miles in a week, and has set herself an even bigger challenge this time around.
Lilli said: âI want to raise money for the NHS because I want to help all the sick people.
âMy nanna Karen works at Furness General Hospital and she tells me how hard they all work. I want to raise as much money as I can.â
Mum Steph said: âLilli-Mae is looking forward to walking 5k every day in February, even though this will be a challenge for her, to raise as much money as she can for Furness General Hospital.
