A father and son, with a little elephant mascot, have completed a fourth epic challenge for a hospice.

Eight-year-old Ollie Chamberlain and dad Danny got back this week from taking on England’s highest mountain, its largest natural lake and one of the country’s steepest roads.

The pair, of Knatts Valley Road, West Kingsdown, set off on their mammoth trip for the ellenor charity at the end of May.

It involved a 50-mile walk scaling Scafell Pike followed by a one-mile swim across Lake Windermere and a 150-mile cycle across the Yorkshire Dales. On the bike ride they took on Rosedale Chimney – one of the steepest roads in England.

When he was at the top, Ollie said to his dad: “I am so, so happy. Ollie Onion, conqueror of hills. When I’m on holiday, I’ll do a Fosbury flop off the harbour wall to celebrate this day.”

Known affectionately as Ollie Onion because of the tears of laughter he brings to his family, the youngster has also completed a number of other challenges for the charity, which provides hospice care for people of all ages, alongside his dad.

When he was just five, they cycled 650 miles and climbed Ben Nevis. In 2014, they rowed 165 miles along the Thames in a 100-year-old Canadian canoe and, last year, they cycled 800 miles from Edinburgh to London, taking in Belfast, Dublin and Cardiff along the way.

This time they took along with them Little Ellie, a miniature version of ellenor’s mascot. Ollie said: “I do these challenges to help people – particularly children – who are poorly. I hope the challenges we do will inspire other children and adults. The more we can all do, the more we can help.”

They have set a goal of raising £4,000 to help support families facing terminal illness and have raised more than £2,500 so far. If the pair hit their target, the money raised could pay for 45 sessions of chemotherapy in the home for one of ellenor’s young patients.
