A six-year-old who went viral for attempting to climb 12 of the highest mountains in the UK to help “poorly children to go on holiday” is to take on his final hike as he heads to the Highlands.
In a bid to satisfy his son’s ambition, Mr Burrow, 38, a project manager in the NHS, thought: “Why don’t we start Oscar on this journey by picking 12 UK mountains that if you added them all up from where you start to where you finish on every mountain would be of a similar height to that of Everest?”
Top news stories today Derian House has been at the forefront of his mind while on the climbs, prompted by his desire for “poorly children to have a holiday”, with the hospice allowing those who are sick to spend valuable time with their families at its lodges. Oscar added: “I want poorly children to go swimming on their holiday."
The fundraising target stands at £60,000, and has been raised several times throughout the challenge, which Mr Burrow said has been something he did not expect.
