The dedication of a schoolboy to his disabled friend has been proved beyond measure.

Chris Irwin has been devoted to 13-year-old Daniel Burns since they were both infants.

Chris, 14, a pupil at the Thorpe Hall School in Wakering Road, Thorpe Bay, has been raising cash for a special massaging mat which gives his friend, who suffers from constant muscle spasm, some relief.
