An eight-year-old boy who travelled the distance equivalent to around the moon for his terminally ill brother is now taking on a 'mountain climb' challenge in his honour after he passed away. Harry Byrne covered more than 13,500 miles with the help of a team of dedicated 'moon trekkers' for Reuben, two.
Loving Harry travelled twice the circumference of the moon for his sibling because he ''loved him to the moon and back'' - raising £40,000 for charity. Reuben sadly died in his sleep three months ago - with Harry sitting right beside him, singing and stroking his head.
Minutes after he died Harry told his mum and dad: '‘I’m going to climb a mountain for Reuben.' Harry, of Larkhill, Wiltshire, has now pledged to tackle the three Yorkshire Peaks in memory of his brother - the equivalent of 7,000ft.
