AN IRVINE youngster has smashed his fundraising challenge as he looked to support a trio of fantastic causes.
Junior Seggie set out to take on a 10km run last month in a bid to raise funds for two organisations close to his heart - The Brain Tumour Charity as well as Irvine and Troon Cancer Care's volunteer drivers.
Cash was also to be donated to his own football team, Irvine Meadow 2014, to help with the costs of equipment, training, tournaments and matchdays.
So far, the 11-year-old has raised an incredible £2,687, blowing away his initial goal of £750.
His fundraising page remains open for donations and is available online at justgiving.com/crowdfunding/megan-borthwick.
Junior also surpassed his initial 10km aim and ran a total of 12km on Irvine Beach.
He was spurred on throughout by many of his football teammates who also joined him for a dip in the sea after the challenge was done.
His fundraising page added: "Junior didn't take on this challenge alone. He was supported every step of the way by his teammates, parents and coaches, who have encouraged him to push himself, believe in his abilities and make a real difference in the community.
"Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help support these fantastic causes and show Junior just how much his efforts are appreciated.
"Together, we can help him reach the finish line while making a positive impact on the lives of others and supporting the future of grassroots football.
"Thank you for supporting Junior, his teammates, and these three wonderful causes."
