When five year old Hannah Knock said she wanted to stage a sponsored walk to help a Blackpool hedgehog charity, she really meant it.

The Poulton youngster was determined to support Hedgehog Rescue Blackpool because the charity had helped out when two little hedgehog visitors to Hannah’s back garden became poorly.

So the Carleton Green Primary School pupil stepped out on Sunday (July 3) and, with pals, parents and even a teacher in support, completed the 3.2 mile walk from North Pier to South Pier and back.

Hannah’s aim was to raise funds for the rescue centre, a registered charity on St Annes Road which takes in poorly hedgehogs, fixes them up where possible and returns them to the wild.

And so far Hannah has raised £620, thanks to generous support for her JustGiving page.

Among those waiting for Hannah at the end of the walk was Jean Turner, the founder of Hedgehog Rescue Blackpool, who then presented her with a certificate.

Hannah’s mum Kat Knock, 41, said: “Hannah was determined to do it and thankfully her pals wanted to join her.
