A six-year-old boy from Lancaster has achieved his goal of climbing 12 of the UK's highest mountains to raise money to help poorly children.
Oscar Burrow reached the summit of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest peak, on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon.
It was Oscar's final hike after nine months of taking on 12 mountains at the combined height of Mount Everest to raise money for Derian House Children's Hospice.
Oscar's proud mum and dad, Matt and Kim, posted on their official Facebook page after they reached the top of the mountain in Scotland on Monday.
"We have reached the summit of Ben Nevis...Oscar’s 12 mountain Everest Challenge has been completed," they said.
"As parents we are so proud of you Oscar, you have demonstrated maturity, resilience and courage by stepping into the unknown and rolling with the challenges.
"I hope you have inspired children and adults to go after their dreams, one step at a time."
Here is video clip of Oscar reaching the top of Ben Nevis on Monday.
Brave Oscar, who goes to St Wilfrid's Primary School in Halton, originally wanted to take on Everest itself but dad Matt came up with this alternative plan.
Since then he has climbed Inglebrough, Whernside, Old Man of Coniston, Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Blencathra, Snowdon, Glyder Fawr and Scafell Pike, Cairngorm and Stob Dearg, as well as Ben Nevis, supported by family and friends including Kim and Matt, grandad Mark, little sister Ada, and his friend Oliver Perkins and family.
His target was originally £8,849, the equivalent of Mount Everest's height in metres.
But as Oscar's challenge captured the public imagination and more money came rolling in, that target was changed to £29,030, the height of Everest in feet.
At time of writing, Oscar has raised almost £32,000, beating his target.
The money has helped the hospice send 29 children with life-limiting illnesses on a free holiday with their families.

Oscar's story has been all over the national newspapers, radio and television - and he has been interviewed by famous TV presenters including Helen Skelton and Dan Walker.
While climbing Snowdon in Wales in February, he even met fellow fundraiser 'Speedomick' Michael Cullen, famed for his charity treks wearing little more than a pair of swimming trunks.
Beyond Radio has also been following Oscar's challenge and he came into the studio earlier this year with mum Kim and grandad Mark for a chat.
