Daniel and Helena in action

A pair of twins from Glastonbury have raised more than £2,000 for the NHS by playing cricket for 12 hours on their birthday.

Daniel and Helena, who attend Millfield Prep School at Edgarley, decided to spend their 12th birthday playing cricket in their garden for 12 hours, to raise money for the NHS Charities Together Association, to help support hospitals and medical staff.

Through sponsorship money and a socially-distanced cake and plant sale, Daniel and Helena raised £2,266 for the charity.
