A girl who completed 126 back flips on a trampoline in a matter of minutes has handed over a cheque for more than £2,000 to a charity close to her heart.

Eight-year-old Grace Hartley carried out the stomach-churning feat to raise money for the Harley Staples Cancer Trust – set up in memory of Blaby eight-year-old Harley, who died in 2009.

Grace, of Church Langton, near Market Harborough, bounced her way to success at the Rutland Water Activity Centre where her previous record was 118 jumps.

Yesterday, Grace handed over a cheque for £2,025 to Harley's aunts, Anna Fenwick and Kate Glover, at her school, Church Langton CE Primary.

Grace said: "I got really tired at 90, but managed to keep going. My family was watching me and cheering me on and that helped."

Proud mum Nicky said: "She's an amazing little girl to come up with the idea."
