A 7-year-old boy from Pudsey is being lauded as a hero as he engages in an incredible 36-kilometre (22.3 miles) trek in honour of his friend who celebrated Christmas in hospital, twice.
Lukas's young friend Finley was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis and spent a significant amount of time at Leeds Children's hospital. Eosinophilic Esophagitis is an allergic disorder that causes inflammation of the oesophagus.
The condition caused Finley to choke after eating. On three occasions it was so severe that Finley was rushed to hospital.
