Why it matters: The fundraising effort supports the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, the charity backed by former Ipswich Town striker Marcus Stewart, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in September 2022.
The details: Harrison performed the ice bucket challenge in front of around 100 staff and students at his college, where he is studying media. Ipswich Town ambassador Peter Over had the honour of tipping the bucket of ice over the young fan, with representatives from the Ipswich Town Foundation also in attendance.
Stewart, who helped the Tractor Boys reach the Premier League in 2000, has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of MND since his diagnosis and regularly supports charitable activities for the foundation.

What they're saying: "Harrison is an inspirational young man – who touches the hearts of all involved with ITFC and The Foundation," said Peter Over. "He is a respected friend and loved by us all and is very much a massive part of The Ipswich Town Family."
Harrison said after the challenge: "It was incredible. I'm lost for words for the people who turned out to support me. I'm also lost for words because the water was so cold."
He added: "At the end of the day, this is a horrible disease and people like my hero Marcus Stewart – what he is going through is terrible. He was a sensational player – and I wish him all the comfort in the world. Doing my bit for the MND charity is the least I can do."
Sally Fuller, an admin coordinator at One Sixth Form College, said: "Harrison is a force of nature and we are so proud that he chose to study with us. He positively inspires every one, every day."
Harrison's father Mike Kemp said: "I'm really proud of him."
What's next: People can still donate to Harrison's fundraising efforts through the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation website.
The bottom line: A young Ipswich Town fan's dedication to supporting his footballing hero has raised both money and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease research and support.
