Larkhill boy given national award for children's hospice fundraising
9 year old Harry Byrne has supported Naomi House and Julia's House
A nine year old boy from Larkhill has been honoured with a national award for his effort's to support local children's hospices.
Harry Byrne has raised more than £95,000 for Naomi House and Julia's House.
The Hampshire and Wiltshire charities looked after Harry's little brother Reuben before he passed away over a year ago.
Harry's now been honoured with a Who Cares Wins award from The Sun newspaper - taking the Young Hero prize at a star-studded ceremony in London.
His award was handed over by Bear Grylls and Denise Van Outen.
Among Harry's efforts to raise money have been a walk over the distance between the two hospices; the distance to the moon; the Three Peaks Challenge.
He's raised more than £95,000 for Naomi House and Julia's House so far.
The team at the Hampshire hospice also helped to honour Harry by taking part in his citation video.
He also got a message from England and Arsenal footballer, Declan Rice, who called Harry a 'top hero'.
The Sun's Who Cares Wins awards aim to celebrate those who go above and beyond for the healthcare sector - and this year came as the NHS marks its 75th anniversary.
It's also not Harry's first national award for his fundraising achievements - he also won a WellChild Award last September.
