Stephanie Walker proves caring for others can start early.

While many eight-year-olds are more worried about their pocket money and Pokemons, Stephanie is prepared to do her bit to help.

The youngster was horrified when she read in The Argus about Will McKinlay's guide dog Nash, who was attacked on the seafront.

She overcame her shyness, got out a bucket, wrapped a copy of the article around it and got to work raising money.

It wasn't the first time Stephanie has helped others. Last year she organised a sponsored swim for The Martlets Hospice in Hove.

Her determination, hard work and caring nature puts many adults to shame.
