Boy, 7, raises 110K

SPONSORSHIP for a seven-year-old boy who vowed to help survivors of the Haitian earthquake has reached more than £110,000 (€126,000).

Charlie Simpson told his mother Leonora he wanted to do anything he could to help after watching children being pulled alive from the rubble.

Charlie set out to raise £500 for Unicef’s Haiti Appeal by riding his bike five miles around his local park, and his efforts inspired hundreds of people online who donated more than £50,000 in one day.
