An enterprising Doncaster youngster is taking on a month of sit-up and seeking for help from the public to help raise cash for a trip to the USA to take part in a cheerleading contest.

11-year-old Summer Clayton is due to jet out to Florida next April for the All Star World Championships in Orlando, which will draw in dance teams from across the globe.

Mum Rebecca said: “We are all paying for our travel and accommodation ourselves but whilst over there, they will need to hire out spaces for training and practice before they compete which is highly expensive.”

Summer, who competes for Rotherham Cheerleading Academy, will be competing with her lyrical and hiphop international team and is also a reserve on the cheer team.

She said: “We have four teams in total competing.

"The cheer team won a bid this year and competed in April just gone and placed 8th, which is incredible.

"This year we have the regal senior cheer team, enchanted senior lyrical team who have also won a bid for this year and then the junior lyrical and youth hip hop team.
