RUGBY players, youngsters and other fundraisers will be putting on their walking shoes this weekend to help a young girl.

Players from Trowbridge Rugby Club will be among those walking from the town, along the Kennet and Avon canal, to Avoncliff on Sunday to raise money for five-year-old Peaches Amor.

Peaches suffers from West Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy that has left her severely brain damaged and confined to a wheelchair.

The Larkrise pupil has outgrown her present wheelchair and people in Trowbridge have been working to raise the £700 needed for a specially adapted chair.

Events organised throughout the town have already raised enough to pay for the chair and any extra will go to Larkrise School.

Sunday's event has been organised by Donna Field, landlady of the Stallards pub, where events have been held every week to raise money for the fund.
