13 Year Old Kid Chasing MMA Dreams Starts Fundraiser as Unexpected Challenge Sees Him on the Brink of Thailand Trip, Fans React

A 13-year-old Instagram user by the username of reed_harrington23 (Reed Harrington) has managed to garner millions of followers on his social media platforms by posting workout challenges on his social media pages. The 13-year-old posted a video on his Instagram which has over 104 million views in current time. The video was about him saying that he would do what the top comment says on his Instagram post. And in typical internet fashion, the top comment had the wildest dare.

The top comment on the video was from the Instagram user, fiven9nekid, which had over 3.5 million likes. Which also holds the Guinness world record for the most likes on an Instagram post. The comment, in brief, told the kid to fly to Thailand, win a tournament, come back to America, join the UFC, and go undefeated in his division. The 13-year-old looks to keep his promise.

In a recent Instagram post, Harrington revealed that he has started a GoFundMe to fulfill his promise of doing whatever the top comment states. His GoFundMe has earned over 14 thousand dollars, almost reaching his goal of 15 thousand to fly to Thailand to train Muai Thai.

His post promoting his GoFundMe also had over a million views on Instagram, with over a thousand comments. In the post, he stated, “Make sure you guys go donate to the GoFundMe so that we can hit the goal and take our money out, so we can pay for our passports and buy our tickets and plan the trip.”

Given how crazy the internet is, it’s very likely to see the young boy succeed in keeping his promise of training Muay Thai in Thailand. Especially after all the support he’s been getting from his followers and even fighters.

Thai kickboxing legend, Buakaw Banchamek, along with plenty of fellow influencers, also commented on reed_harrington23’s 200k followers post. And his recent post about the “GoFundMe” promotion has just as many comments.
