15 year old Charlotte Hurst climbed Ben Nevis in support of the Alzheimer's Society

Charlotte climbed with her dad, two brothers and sister-in-law to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society as it supports her two grandmothers.

Charlotte, who goes to English Martyrs School, Leicester, said:

"It's been really hard on the whole family watching them deteriorate. I hope that by raising funds for the Alzheimer's Society more support can be provided for carers as well as allowing the society to continue searching for a cure"

Ben Nevis, near Fort William, is the highest mountain in the British Isles, at 4,409 ft and in conquering it Charlotte raised an amazing £455.20 for the Alzheimer's Society. She is pictured here with her parents, members of her local church and Liz Thornton (Community Fundraiser East Midlands) at a cheque presentation that took place at her school.
