Rutland mum Kelsey and her brave 9-year-old son Noah are undergoing another daring fundraiser to support a local wildlife charity. 

At the end of January, Kelsey and Noah will be climbing over the O2 dome to raise funds for Prickleback Urchins Hedgehog Rescue. 

This is not the pair's first fundraiser for the hedgehog rescue, having previously climbed Mount Snowdon, swam the Icelandic Silfra and skydived from 13,000 feet. 

Prickleback Urchins Hedgehog Rescue is a Rutland-based hedgehog rescue and rehabilitation centre that is entirely funded by donations. 

Run by Rachel and Jay in their home in Market Overton, the rescue cares for an average of 125 hedgehogs a year from Rutland and the surrounding counties, working alongside local vets to ensure they have the best chance of survival.

Kelsey, who is a science teacher at Catmose College, has been a long supporter of the rescue, said: 'Rachel and Jay are the most wonderful, selfless human beings I have met. 

'They have dedicated their lives to helping hedgehogs, and as they rely solely on donations, I fundraise for them to help them care for their prickly little friends.'

Adding to this, Noah said: 'I love hedgehogs and I want to do fundraising to make them better. I like doing crazy things with my Mummy to raise the money.' 

Kelsey and Noah will be climbing over the O2 dome at the end of the month and have already raised £180 for the hedgehog rescue and have a Go Fund Me page that people can donate on.
