Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span class="messageBody"><span style="color: #000000;">Dressed as a Stag Beetle I walked over 6 miles. We walked in the rain, we walked in the mud, we walked in the wind. We walked up hill, we walked downhill, we walked over boulders, rocks and trees. Eventually mother nature was nice and gave us some sun to finish. So if you haven't&nbsp;watched&nbsp;my video&nbsp;and see what&nbsp;me and my&nbsp;2 young supporting brothers went through to raise money for Save the Somerset levels please watch it now and help raise money for a&nbsp; good&nbsp;cause!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span></span></strong><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #008000; font-size: 14pt;"></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #008000; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hi my name is Charlie Millard and I am 9 years old.</span></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #008000; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A few days ago a 'Save the Somerset levels' leaflet was posted through our door.</span></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #008000; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Somerset Wildlife Trust is trying to raise &pound;100,000, to restore four old industrial sites (the equivalent of 26 football pitches) into nature reserves.
