Harry has set himself the challenge of swimming 1500 metres,in this years swimathon, in less than 1 hour.

He told us that he wants to do this challenge to raise money for charity and to also show that people with medical conditions, like Harry, can push themselves to achieve their goals. 

Harry was unable to take part in any sports or physical activities until recently due to a rare growth condition, so this will be a huge achievement for him. His condition meant he stopped growing, had no energy and was poorly all the time. Now he has been diagnosed he is receiving daily injections and medication that has got him back on track and he is doing really well!
