Hailey hopes to make a splash

Redditch Editorial 26th Mar, 2015 Updated: 18th Oct, 2016   0

SUPER swimmer Hailey Best is aiming to make a splash for charity when she takes part in a sponsored swim in aid of Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

The six-year-old was inspired to take the plunge by the bravery of a young friend who has been receiving treatment there since the end of February.

She aims to swim lengths continuously for one hour at a local pool during the Easter holidays with the aim of completing 80 breathtaking lengths.

So far she has managed to raise £526 and her just-giving page has now now gone global with sponsors signing up from as far afield as Australia and Dubai.
