00:00Okay Harrison, so you're a pupil here at Summerhill School in Kings Wynford.
00:04Yes I am.
00:05And just explain what you've been doing, what you've been up to.
00:08So I thought of the idea I think round about last week on Wednesday.
00:12Yeah.
00:13I thought I'd run light in this inflatable costume.
00:16Yeah.
00:17For young minds.
00:18Fantastic.
00:19So the next day I went to Miss and I said, Miss can I run for charity?
00:24Because it's our charity week this week.
00:26Yeah.
00:27So she said yeah of course, do you got any ideas?
00:29And I said yeah I want to run in an alien costume.
00:32So we're all agreeing to run in an alien costume.
00:36Yeah.
00:37So on Monday I set off on my first run, it goes fine, everything's good.
00:42Do around about 3.5k.
00:44Yeah.
00:45Brilliant.
00:46In mine my target's 25k.
00:48Right.
00:50I do 3.5k at lunch, break sorry.
00:55And then I do 4, 5k at lunch.
01:00Wow.
01:01You're right running then Harry.
01:03Yeah, it's one of my favourite things to do.
01:05Now I believe, what was your goal again, 25 was it?
01:0925k.
01:10And I believe you've got nearly, you've run nearly 40 haven't you?
01:13Yeah, 45k I've run now.
01:15Oh you've run 45, that's incredible.
01:17So and obviously you've been doing it for money, so how much have you raised?
01:21I've raised £1,085.
01:25Wow that's amazing.
01:26And I'd just like to say.
01:27And just remind everybody how old you are again.
01:29I'm 12 years old.
01:31That's incredible, what an incredible achievement for somebody your age.
01:35That's really admirable.
01:36I'd just like to say thank you to all my football managers and everybody who donated for keeping my fitness going.
01:42And I'm very thankful for them.
01:44Brilliant.
01:45Well well done mate and I'm sure I'll be seeing you again in the future when you're raising more money for charity.
