CHILDcare student Natasha Ellis and fellow students walked from Abingdon to Oxford to raise money for the John Radcliffe Hospital’s neonatal unit.

Miss Ellis, 19, of Piddington, near Thame, and fellow students from her course at Oxford & Cherwell Valley College, dressed as Disney characters for the fundraising walk.

They walked along the River Thames and collected money for SNNAP (Support for the Sick Newborn and their Parents), the charity supporting intensive special care nurseries at the hospital.

Miss Ellis said: “Everyone was very generous. We collected £1,127 and have sponsor money coming in.”
