A boy is tackling a charity walk in the last two weeks of December to raise money for a non-profit close to his heart.

Harry Lee, 10, is setting off in support of Pet Pals GC this December, as he aims to raise money by taking on the Winter Walk the organisation hosts every year.

The challenge sees people cover 25km across the month of December.

The time span given to do it means people of all mobility levels can get involved and raise money.

Harry and his family have been fostering dogs from Pet Pals GC since November last year, and even adopted their own dog, Astoria, from the organisation after the “kids fell in love with her.”

Harry’s family is incredibly pleased with how the community has come out to support him, having already raised £100 of his £150 goal.

Harry’s mum, Heidi Lee, 39 said: “He’s really delighted by it all.

“It’s amazing how people we don’t even know have been donating.”

Harry has been eager to raise money in any way he can, sorting through second hand items to sell.

Louise Baker, president of Pet Pals GC, has said: “To learn that younger generations like Harry are getting involved is amazing.

“All fundraising is essential for non profit organisations like mine,” she said.

The money will go towards Pet Pal GC’s move to a more well-suited location, where they hope to avoid constant costs of damages to their current venue.

Harry said: “I wanted to join in because I love that the animals could have a new home to live where it’s better for them.

“I also want to make it better for Louise because she already does so much hard work already and she must be very tired all of the time and sad sometimes too.”
