Frankie McMillan and his mum Basia completed the nine-day trek to Mount Everest鈥檚 base camp to raise money for the Make A Wish Foundation.

Speaking to 5 Live Breakfast, Basia said her son 鈥渁bsolutely smashed it鈥� and that she is 鈥渟uper proud鈥�.

鈥淲e had to walk for nine days before we managed to get to the actual base camp and then another three days back. So it was a 12 day trek in high altitude and extreme temperatures鈥�, she told 5 Live鈥檚 Rachel Burden.

Last year, Frankie, from west Cumbria, climbed Greece鈥檚 Mount Olympus to become what is believed to be the youngest Briton to reach its summit.

His biggest dream is to reach the top of Mount Everest but he said he鈥檚 still 鈥渁 bit too small鈥�, so will attempt to achieve this when he turns ten.

Watch and listen to Frankie鈥檚 motivating reasons for wanting to raise money for this charity.
