Ten-year-old boy running to help people on the Scilly Isles

Ten-year-old Orkney loves running.

He's run miles and miles for charity, including 55 kilometres (around 34 miles) in five days and a half marathon.

Orkney lives in the Isles of Scilly, a group of islands off the south west coast of England.

His latest fundraiser has raised around £2000 - helping islanders who have to travel to the mainland unexpectedly, for things like hospital care, and have nowhere to stay.

BBC News South West England correspondent, Jenny Kumah went to meet him.
