Smile Good News, Boy, 6, climbs five Everests.

A six-year-old boy has climbed the equivalent of five Mount Everests to raise money for the hospital that saved his life.

Tom Fryers, who nearly died at birth from oxygen starvation, has climbed all 214 peaks in Alfred Wainwright's famous Lake District guides.

I think very poorly of parents that allow their children to do dangerous activities.

And he has raised £2,500 for the Sheffield's Jessop Wing Maternity Hospital in the process, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Tom scaled his first peak when he was just three and a half and has since covered 480 miles and more than 150,000ft of ascent in 62 days on the fells.
In one gruelling 15-mile session he conquered the two highest peaks in England - 3,162ft Scafell and 3,209ft Scafell Pike.

As long as he wasn't endangering his health.....this is really a very inspiring story.
