Big-hearted Isabelle makes a splash and raises lots of charity cash
When Isabelle Ready's aunt was sadly diagnosed with myeloma, the seven-year-old decided to do something to help researchers find a cure for the cancer.
The big-hearted little girl, from Chesterfield, completed a 1,000-metre sponsored swim in 51 minutes, raising a fantastic £3,132 for Sheffield Hospitals Charity's Cure Myeloma Appeal.
