Over the past few weeks we鈥檝e been visiting every country in the UK celebrating our fundraising heroes, and this week we鈥檝e arrived at our final destination 鈥� Northern Ireland! As always there have been lots of people setting their sights high to raise as much money as possible for 主播大秀 Children in Need.
One fundraiser who is setting her sights very high indeed is Chloe from County Down. Although she鈥檚 only seven years old Chloe (with a little bit of organisational help from her mum and her granddad) is attempting something pretty big this October 鈥� she鈥檒l be climbing Northern Ireland鈥檚 highest mountain Slieve Donard! Chloe has been preparing for the climb for several weeks now, and in the run-up to the big day she鈥檚 been fundraising at home with her family, and at school with her friends! Chloe鈥檚 granddad Gerry got in touch to tell us how proud he was of his granddaughter: 鈥淚 really believe that Chloe will do both herself and 主播大秀 Children In Need proud by taking part in this unusual challenge for a seven year old!鈥�
Chloe's feeling confident about her upcoming challenge!
This is no small challenge 鈥� Slieve Donard is the highest peak in Northern Ireland, so Pudsey and the team want to wish Chloe the very best of luck for her challenge.
The staff and pupils at Dunmurry Primary School in Belfast are聽getting involved this year in a very eye-catching way. As well as running before-school breakfast clubs for sleepy students to attend in their #pyjamas, they鈥檙e also showing their fundraising spirit to the whole of Belfast by covering their school in Pudsey spots for our Appeal week in November! We think this is going to look brilliant, and we can鈥檛 wait to see some photos! And these aren鈥檛 the only heroes in Dunmurry this year 鈥� we鈥檝e also heard from Marian at Country Oaks Daycare, where the staff and children are looking forward to a heroes-themed sponsored walk and dance. To add to the excitement, we鈥檝e heard rumours floating around that there might even be a visit from a very special yellow guest鈥�

Our last hero is Davida Wallace, a brave hairdresser from Ballymoney. Davida will be courageously shaving her hair off for 主播大秀 Children in Need. With autumn just around the corner and temperatures soon starting to drop, this is indeed a very heroic effort by Davida. Good luck, and thanks for braving the winter with a shaved head for 主播大秀 Children in Need.
