Supported by his father, Nick, Harry has embarked on remarkable challenges, combining adventure with meaningful fundraising and environmental efforts. Together, they go on many “Daddy Adventures.”
Harry’s journey began at the age of six when he decided to cycle from Wokingham to Wales, sparking a love for long-distance challenges. At eight, he tackled the iconic Land’s End to John o’ Groats (LeJog), becoming the youngest person to cycle JoGLe in 2023 and earning a trophy for his accomplishment. In 2024, Harry set his sights even higher, leading their “Cycle Britain” adventure.
To date, Harry has cycled thousands of miles, raising over £40,000 for Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital, a cause close to his heart. Along the way, he’s inspired communities through storytelling, litter-picking initiatives, and engagement with Scouting groups. His achievements include a Gold Blue Peter badge presented by Bear Grylls and a civic award from his local council.
From racing steamers on Ullswater to summiting the UK’s highest peaks, Harry’s adventures are filled with resilience, humour, and a drive to make a difference. Nick, his father and proud support partner, ensures Harry’s ambitions become reality, creating unforgettable memories every step of the way.
