Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 06:04 · Archive

Harper Robinson, aged ten, will walk 12 miles to raise £1,200 for the Children's Chronic Arthritis Association.

Harper Robinson, aged ten, from Bicester, will undertake a 12-mile walk on 7 November from Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington to his home in Kingsmere to raise £1,200 for the Children's Chronic Arthritis Association (CCAA).

Harper has dyspraxia and ADHD, making the walk a significant challenge. His sister Ruby, now six, was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis two years ago. The CCAA supported the family through hospital visits, hydrotherapy, blood tests and treatment. Ruby will walk the first mile with her brother.

Harper was inspired to undertake the walk to represent the 12,000 children in the UK living with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The Robinson family, having benefited from the charity's support, now volunteers for the CCAA.
