A TEN-YEAR-OLD boy who completed a triathlon in his grandad’s memory has raised more than £550 for charity.

Jake Griffiths from Old Town, Eastbourne, came up with the idea after he lost his grandfather Tony suddenly in September.

On the back of his funeral order of service card, it said that any donations should go to St Wilfrid’s Hospice.

Jake made a donation from his pocket money but then came up with the idea of undertaking a triathlon to raise more money.

He decided to swim 125m at the Sovereign Centre, cycle eight km and run one km along the seafront between the Sovereign Centre and the end of the Prom just past the sewage treatment works on Prince William Parade. Jake is pictured with Hospice CE David Scott-Ralphs.
