A Jersey boy raised £800 for a hospital ward where he was repeatedly treated.
Alfie Lumsley, 7, ran the Marathon Mile on the island earlier this month to support Robin Ward, who looks after babies, children and young people.
He was treated at the ward on three occasions as a baby when he needed minor ear operations and said he wanted to give back to the ward.
Staff showed Alfie and his family around the room and explained how the money Alfie raised could be spent to help other children.

Alfie admitted he hadn’t trained much before the Marathon Mile, which is mainly run by schoolchildren.
He said it was “really hard” and “I had a stitch halfway through”.
Alfie added: “I wanted to raise money for Robin Ward to improve it so I could buy new toys and games for the children.”
He also wanted to say “thank you” to the staff who looked after him when he was a baby.

Alfie’s mother Clair joined her son to visit Robin Ward and meet the staff.
She said she was “really proud” of Alfie and was “quite surprised” that he was so excited to take part as “he’s not a runner”.
“I think he wants to treat the children who are here and especially in the run-up to Christmas so we can give them care packages,” she added.

Robin Ward staff congratulated Alfie on his fundraising and his interest in helping other children.
Pediatrician sister Courtney McDade said her fundraiser had been “absolutely amazing” and would be “amazing for the other kids who come into the room”.
