A kind-hearted British schoolgirl plans to walk the equivalent distance of three times of Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, to raise money for charity - despite being just 4 years old.

Daisy Hooper from Lancashire, northwestern Britain, might weigh just around 19 kilograms and stand only 91 centimeters high, but that doesn't stop her from taking on the mammoth 354 kilometers challenge.

The determined girl has set about climbing Lancashire's famous Pendle Hill 52 times - which is 557 meters above mean sea level, to raise money for a local hospice that promotes the quality of life for people with life-limiting illnesses.

Completing the feat will mean Daisy will walk a total of 28,957 meters - three times of world's highest mountain, Mount Qomolangma, whose summit stands at 8,848 meters above sea level.
