Marine Way Bridge was an excellent spot this morning to cheer on Olivia Rushton on her BBC Children in Need Rickshaw challenge with Matt Baker.

There was plenty of support for Olivia including many of her relatives.



Starting at Churchtown Primary School Olivia has a very long route all the way to Clatterbridge Hospital on the Wirral.



Olivia has dedicated much of her young life to helping to support her younger sister Jess, who was born with a rare life-limiting chromosomal disorder. Olivia and Jess are incredibly close and she has devoted much of her time to her beloved sister. Both Olivia and her family and are grateful for the support they continue to receive from the BBC Children in Need funded project, Claire House Hospice where both Jess and her family receive respite from her devastating condition. This vital project is funded to deliver a Play Therapist and Team Leader role for a sibling support group to give children and young people such as Olivia the support they need to cope with the emotional difficulties of having a sibling with a life-limiting illness. Olivia is a promising fashion student and is hoping to study Fashion Design. She is also an active fundraiser having raised money for Claire House by selling the face masks she made during lockdown.

Teamwork. Thankful that the weather changed today for the better.

Great to see pedal-power working hard for such a worthy cause - good on her!

And some great cycle lanes to use....
