And her father Richard believes they have already raised around £9,000 towards that total.

Dronfield’s Catherine Bullock-Brown has also raised more than £1,800 from a sponsored cycle ride.
And an event last Sunday at Dronfield’s S18 boxing gym for the 16-year-old member raised around £1,500.
And the biggest future event pencilled in so far, is growing every day - a sponsored walk from Sheffield United’s ground to the Hollingwood Hotel in Chesterfield on July 1.

Blades fan Imogen contracted ‘ewing sarcoma’ in 2016 - it effects fewer than 30 children in the UK a year. The Henry Fanshawe School pupil has more chemotherapy ahead of her - yet has been an inspiration to her family.
