TWO CHILDREN have completed an ambitious challenge to raise money for First Days Children’s Charity.
Grayson and Everly Rowland undertook a ‘playground dash’, playing in 30 Wokingham playgrounds for a minimum of 10 minutes each in one day.
Starting in Holyport, the siblings enjoyed themselves on slides, swings, hopscotches, roundabouts, monkey bars, climbing nets and spinning chairs, before ending up in Charvil.
Including travelling time, it took over 10 hours for the siblings to complete and the Piggott Primary School students have raised £585 for First Days at the time of writing.
Mother Victoria said: “Grayson came up with the idea for the challenge after watching the news and learning about the cost of living crisis.
“We discussed as a family how this would impact people and he said he wanted to do something to help families who were struggling.”
At the age of seven, Grayson’s consideration of others is something that should be commended.
The schedule of playgrounds visited was announced in advance, with other children and parents invited to drop by and support Grayson and Everly.
First Days was established in 2013 with the aim to provide children with essential items for their early years and schooling and reduce the long term effect of poverty.
Since its creation, the charity has helped over 10,000 children and distributed over 250 tonnes of donated goods.
