A SIX-year-old schoolgirl has raised thousands of pounds for the Dougie Mac after climbing Mount Snowdon in memory of her nan.

Little Frankie Griffin, from Stoke-on-Trent, was inspired to take on the mammoth challenge for the Blurton hospice after it cared for her nan Karen Griffin, who died of cancer in July last year. Her efforts have earned £5,100 in total.

Frankie wanted to raise money for Dougie Mac after telling her dad Nick she needed to help ‘poorly people like Nannie’ - Nick's mum.
