A GROUP of friends from Soham Village College helped raised more than �200 for charity by walking between their homes in Soham and neighbouring Ely.

The girls, Claudia Barnat, Holly Abbott, Cassie Rouse and Vicky Neville completed the six-mile walk under their own steam, helping to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK.

A large part of the total was donated to the girls, all in Year 8, by the West End pub in Ely and the girls added their thanks for all their supporters for helping to raise the sum.
