Eight-year-old zebra lover raises more than £10,000 for Somerset animal farm so it can survive pandemic
An eight-year-old girl has raised more than £10,000 to help her favourite zoo in Somerset survive the coronavirus pandemic. Polly Robertson set herself a target of £100 by walking or running one mile a day for 64 days, in a bid to help Noah's Ark Zoo Farm feed the animals. She has since raised more than £10,000 and staff at the zoo have prepared a special surprise for her when they re-open.
Polly's love for the attraction came after the team at Noah's Ark re-named a zebra after her as a gift on her lockdown birthday in April. According to mum Sarah, it was "love at first sight" and her daughter has been "desperate" ever since to ensure it can open its doors again.
