Brother Reuben died aged two in 2021 after he was born with a genetic syndrome so rare there are only 20 known cases.

Harry raised £15,000 by climbing Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Snowdon despite Storm Babet.

Harry said: “It was so cold on the top of Ben Nevis in storm Babet.

“Daddy had to hold onto me to make sure I didn’t get blown over.

“I took a picture of Reuben with me in my pocket and looked at it when things got hard.

“It wasn’t easy but Reubear had a much bigger challenge and he didn’t quit.

“I saw robins a lot during the weekend and started calling them ReuRobins as I think they were messages from him to keep going.”

Harry’s challenge adds to the 16,000 miles he has walked to raise over £90,000 for charities who looked after his “Reubear”.
