Harvey Goodman has completed his fundraising walk from his school in Warrington to Old Trafford and smashed his target, raising more than £7,000.

The six-year-old wanted to help fund a new state of the art playground at his school so decided to help raise the money.

He wanted to combine his love of Manchester United with his love of the playgrounds, so decided to walk the 15.5 miles from Stockton Heath primary school to Old Trafford football stadium, with the help of Manchester United legend, Sammy McIllroy.

Harvey arrived at Old Trafford to cheers from his friends.

Harvey's Dad helped him set up a Just Giving page in the hope they could raise £3,000, so far it has raised more than £7,000.
