Sean, 10, becomes youngest European to scale Kilimanjaro

EATING lots of broccoli helped 10-year-old Sean McSharry become Europe’s youngest person to scale Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.

As well as training hard, Sean from Stillorgan, Dublin, had to eat lots of vegetables, particularly broccoli, and cut out sweets.

Yesterday Sean, called his mum, Noleen, to say he had just reached the snow-capped summit with his uncle, intrepid mountaineer, Ian McKeever.
