A grateful family raised £850 for Great Ormond Street Hospital to thank them for the care they have received.

Taking it all in her stride - Harriet helped raise £850

Dave, Susan and little Harriet Harding, of Bridport Way, Braintree, took part in a ten-mile walk in Hyde Park, London.

The event, at which participants raised money for the hospital's bone marrow transplant unit, was the second fundraising event in two months the family have supported.

Harriet, five, has a rare blood condition, langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), which affects only about 30 children in the UK each year. It is not a cancer, but can behave like a cancer in its more serious forms.
