Teenager from Helston taking on 100 mile challenge in August for charity

By Joseph Macey 12th Aug 2021

13-year-old Lily Williamson, from Helston, has taken on a 100-mile challenge in August for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Now on her summer holidays, Lily decided she wanted to do something and will run a huge 100 miles this month.

The target of £500 has already been matched, quickly reaching £560 - with her dad, Baz Williamson, she has run 27.84 miles so far.

After completing the 27 miles on day 7, mum Marie Williamson commented:

"They're smashing out the miles and enjoying the beautiful scenery at the same time.

"Another 6.2 miles, taking the total covered to 27.84 miles Lily even braved an ice-cold bath afterward, this girl never fails to make us smile."

Marie added:

"We are very proud of her and would be extremely grateful if you'd consider donating to help her towards her goal.

"Don't forget to give them a toot and a cheer if you see them out and about on their run."
