    Inspirational girl raises thousands for children's ward

    A nine-year-old girl who's overcome major health challenges has raised nearly £13,000 for the Children's Ward at Noble's Hospital.

    Chloe Rollitt from Douglas generated the funds through a high-profile appeal to the Manx public and Island businesses which will go towards supporting the families of children who spend long amounts of time in hospital.

    £10,000 of it will be used to buy 14 glide-away beds for parents staying overnight with the rest used to buy toys and games for the ward and other community outreach areas.

    Chloe, who has cerebral palsy and a form of epilepsy has battled her condition and is now excelling in Paralympic sport and started the campaign to inspire other children with disabilities.
