A YOUNGSTER from Thornaby has taken part in a sponsored walk to help raise money for cancer treatment for her grandfather.
Natalie Witterick, eight, took part in the 12-mile walk from Thornaby to Stokesley to raise money to send Harry Baldwin to Mexico for treatment.
A total of £20,000 is needed for Mr Baldwin's trip, and Natalie was given a helping hand from npower through their £4£ scheme.
The company will match the total amount of sponsorship raised, and all money is still being counted.
Natalie's mother, Catherine, who works at the npower centre in Thornaby, said: "Natalie is very close to her grandfather and she has been great at collecting sponsorship for the walk.
"We received a lot of support from friends, relatives and colleagues who joined us at the event, and the scheme will help give us a financial boost."
