A STICKLEPATH youngster hopped on her bike to raise more than £600 for people suffering in the Philippines.

Ten-year-old Nell Stephens-Hodge wanted to do something to help after hearing about the destruction in the Phillipines caused by Typhoon Haiyan, and set herself the challenge of taking on a sponsored cycle from Okehampton to Meldon and back. Her efforts have raised £614.

Nell's mother Kate said: 'She is very pleased with how it has gone, and it has gone really well.'

Anyone who would like to support her or would like to donate to her cause can contact her mother Kate on 01837 840484.
