A Washington girl has been called an "inspiration" after her fundraising efforts saw her raise over £1,000 for the after school club she attends.
Eva Robinson, aged 9, gathered the funds for The Little Onion Project walking laps around The Forage Community Project on Westerhope Road.
Despite living with Perthes Disease and often needing a wheelchair to help her mobility, club members have said they are in "complete awe" of her determination.

The money raised will now be used by owners to purchase a caravan, which wnen renovated will double as an outdoor classroom for young club members.
Vicky Calder, Founder and Director of The Little Onion Club, told The Northern Echo how proud she is of Eva.
"It's really special to know that Eva is one of my original 'little onions'. It's also very special that we're creating these bonds and relationships with the children.
"When they come up with these ideas off their own back because they want to do something, I can't describe or put in to words how proud that makes me feel."
This latest fundraiser is one of many completed by Eva, that have included walking laps of Willow Brook assisted living in Washington, raising money to buy residents easter eggs.
Vicky said: "Fundraising helps us enormously, and we would always encourage any of our children to do it.
"The fact that Eva has done it before and now she's done it again, raising over £1,000, it's just absolutely unbelievable."
Founded by Vicky herself in 2018, the Little Onion Club will soon celebrate its 5th anniversary after its humble beginnings in a local park.
Activities include teaching children skills after school including planting vegetables and crafting items out of recycled materials.
Eva's mum, Kaylie Robinson, told the Echo she couldn't be more proud of her daughter whose Parthes Disease means her hips affect her mobility.
She said: "She doesn't like people being lonely because at school she can't participate and join it because of her hips.

"She knows what its like to be lonely which is why she organised the easter egg give away so people know there's always someone there."
Kaylie praised The Little Onion Club, and agreed the time she spends there is the higlight of her daughters week.
Following the purchase of the caravan, plans are developing to emblazen Eva's name on to it, acting as a glorious reminder of her fantastic achievement.
