Leona Lewis completes charity trek for animal sanctuary

Leona Lewis has completed a sponsored walk on Sunday to raise money for an animal sanctuary.

The animal lover performed at Michael Jackson's tribute concert in Wales on Saturday night, and travelled back to England overnight to make sure she was able to raise funds for the Hopefield Animal Sanctuary in Essex.

Lewis trekked the five mile route to raise cash for the organisation and deputy manager Lianne Angliss has said she is glad to have the former X Factore winner's support telling the Brentwood Weekly News: "It's been great, support has gone up and we're getting visitors every day now when it used to be just at weekends."
