Hide AdGrace, who is a student at Wellfield Primary School, said: "I thought it would be a good idea to raise money for the hospice because a lot of fund raising events for it have been cancelled due to Covid 19."
Spurred on by her mum and dad, Caroline and Barry and her little brother, William, who is eight, some of Grace's friends dropped in to dance along in her front garden and give her a bit of encouragement.
Grace, who attends Basics Theatre School, admitted althought she was tired after her marathon it was well worth it because so far she has raised £860.
In February the caring youngster had nine inches of her hair lopped off to donate to the Little Princess charity which makes wigs for children with life threatening illnesses.
