Two brothers used pedal power to raise money for the hospital where their sister is a patient.

Ben Perryman, aged nine, and six-year-old Jordan, of Aldeburgh Close, Clacton, decided to ride their bikes from Clacton Pier to Walton Pier to raise money for the ward where their sister, Ellie, regularly has treatment at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.

Fifteen-month-old Ellie suffers from a rare condition where her body is unable to break down protein.

They were joined by their grandad Terry Money, dad Peter, mum Caroline and another 12 fellow pupils from Frobisher Primary School and other parents.

They raised more then £1,300.
