“I’ve been really excited watching the donations grow – thank you, everyone.”
Her mum, Helen, added: “Evalyn amazes me every single day.
“She’s a wise-headed little girl with a heart of gold and once she put her mind into doing this, there wasn’t going to be any stopping her.
“We can’t believe how much money she has managed to raise for the Little Princess Trust and Evalyn has thoroughly enjoyed the whole process.
“I’m a proud mum.”

The Little Princess Trust thanked Evalyn for her charitable efforts.
A spokesperson for the trust added: “When a child loses their hair to cancer, we’ll be there with a free, real hair wig to help.
“We won't stop until the research that we fund ends childhood cancer forever.”
