Girl's record-breaking climb for children's hospital

At six years old, Seren from Carmarthenshire has climbed the 4,167m (13,671ft) Mount Toubkal in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco.

Her dad says she’s become the youngest girl to do so.

Seren wanted to raise money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital, who treated a lump on her neck that affected her airways when she was a baby.
