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.

01:13Yeah, 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?

01:26And 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.
