Boy dresses to impress for charity

A fun-loving boy from Kirkby decided to swap his jeans for a dress for the day - all in good spirits to raise cash for charity. Teen Lewis Lamb - who has autism and touretes - donned the fetching yellow outfit on Friday to raise cash for Comic Relief. The Bracken Hill School pupil raised a fantastic £100 for his efforts. And now is wanting to do more for different charities in future. His proud mum, Julie, said: “He did so well and said he really enjoyed it.” She said Lewis watched part of Comic Relief but was upset by it so decided to raise more cash in future.
