A SCHOOLGIRL raised hundreds of pounds on an ‘ultra mini’ marathon dressed in festive gear. Five-year-old Lola Parks, of Marsh Road, Burnham, is a Year 1 student at Burnham Primary School and wanted to help her mum raise money towards the school’s new playground equipment project. Lola dressed up as Santa, laced up her running shoes and jogged 5km around the town last Friday. While on the run, she also became a secret Santa by choosing ten random houses and taking them a small treat, much to the delight of unsuspecting residents. Lola managed to raise £1,030, smashing her £1,000 target, thanks to the massive surge of community support.
