PARENTS who appealed to Westmorland Gazette readers to support a walk in aid of a children's hospice have raised more than £600.

Michelle and Jonathan Cody, of Ford Park Crescent, Ulverston, thanked everyone who had sponsored their cross-bay charity trek on September 15.

The money will be going straight to the Derian House Children's Hospice, in Chorley, which helps look after their 18-month-old daughter Ella who suffers from heart problems.

They also thanked Ella's carer, Sheila Makin, who took part in the walk and sponsors from Ulverston Parish Church and residents of Abbeyfield House.
