Harvey in triathlon challenge alongside Brianna's mum

A NINE-YEAR-OLD fundraiser is preparing to tackle a triathlon challenge alongside Esther Ghey, mother of murdered trans teenager Brianna - after being inspired by her mental health message.

Harvey Goodman is no stranger to impressive challenges, having raised almost £50,000 over three events since he was six.

Harvey is aiming to swim 1.2 miles (1.9 km), cycle 56 miles (90 km) and run 16 miles (25.7) over the course of one weekend in May, during which he will be cheered on by supporters as he aims to raise over £30,000 to help children's mental health and wellbeing.

Harvey explained that he saw Ms Ghey talking about mindfulness at an awards night and 'got really interested' in it.

He said: "After losing someone very close to me, I wanted to do something big to honour them and to make sure other children get the support they need."
