Olivia celebrates her seventh birthday by cycling for the NHS Charities Together

Olivia Williamson wanted to help our NHS heroes and made the generous decision to cycle seven kilometres for seven days - to celebrate her seventh birthday.

Mum Becky said: “We are really proud of her, she has taken it upon herself and that is what makes us proud.”

Olivia began her challenge on Thursday, May 7 and will complete her final cycle today (Wednesday).

“Thank you to everyone who donated to the cause.” Becky said, “The NHS are the heroes.”
