Leeds nine-year-old inspired by Captain Tom Moore completing 24-hour trampoline bounce for NHS

Amelia Davies was inspired by Captain Tom Moore and decided to raise money for the health service.

Amelia was born with her bowels outside her body, so her mum Sonja said she had even more reason to be thankful for the incredible care she receieved.

Amelia is completing the 24-hour bouncing session over the course of this weekend, stopping for toilet breaks, food and sleep.

Sonja told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "Amelia saw Captain Tom Moore on the tv who did the walking for the NHS and we came up with this trampoline bounce challenge.

"Amelia did 10 hours altogether yesterday and hopefully she will complete it tonight.

"She makes us all proud.

"We owe the NHS so much as Amelia was born with her bowels on the outside and spent 6 weeks in hospital before being allowed home, so we owe them so much more."

Amelia has raised £175 so far.
