Harrogate aspiring actor thrilled to hit his Drama School fundraising target
An aspiring actor from Harrogate has achieved his fundraising target to go to a prestigious drama school - with help from Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe.
Harry Pritchard needed to raise £13,799 in order to pay the fees for LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art), where he won a place earlier this month for a year-long course.
The former Harrogate Grammar School student's cause was given an incredible boost this week by actor Russell Crowe. The Oscar-winning actor not only shared Harry's fundraiser, but donated £2,741 - almost enough to pay the deposit for the course by this Thursday's deadline.
This morning Harry hit his target and tweeted his thanks
Russell Crowe also tweeted his delight at Harry hitting his target:
