I believe one of the best things we can do to combat climate breakdown is to rewild and the best way to start doing that is to plant trees. A nice round number of trees is 1000 and so my aim is to raise enough money to achieve that.  It costs £5 to plant one tree so I'm looking for a pretty large target of £5k.  

To convince you that I really want this to happen I'm going to run the Bob Graham Round which is a 66 mile, 27,000 ft circuit of 42 of the highest peaks in the English Lake District to be completed within 24 hours. This will push me to my absolute limit so I'm hoping you can all dig deep and help the fight against climate breakdown.  

The World Land Trust are a charity who plant trees around the world, more details here:
