See SWNS story SWBRmoon; A seven-year-old is on a quest to race around the moon to show his love for his seriously ill little brother. Harry Byrne captured hearts earlier this year when he took on a 50-mile hike for a children's hospice who care for his brother Reuben. Reuben, who turns two in September, was born with a condition that causes his brain to deteriorate – so rare it doesn’t have a name yet, and there are fewer than 20 recorded cases worldwide. But now that lockdown restrictions have eased, Harry has decided to venture much further with his fundraising – he’s got his sights set on space. With help from his family, friends and other fellow ‘moon trekkers’, Harry, from Larkhill, Wilts., hopes to complete the 6786-mile distance around the moon in just three months. As well as leading three fancy dress walks past Stonehenge on the full moon days, the St Michael’s C of E Primary School pupil plans to clock up the miles by climbing mountains, running with his football friends and lots more.
