Hello! 👋

My name is Eddie, and I’m 7 years old. This summer, I’m doing something really big to help some of the most amazing animals in the ocean — whales and dolphins!

I’ve decided to walk 155 miles to raise money for WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, a brilliant charity that protects whales, dolphins, and their homes.

🐾 That’s the same distance as walking from my home in Midhurst, West Sussex all the way to the biggest aquarium in Europe – the Nausicaá Aquarium in northern France! (Don’t worry, I won’t actually be walking over the sea — but I’ll be doing all the miles here on land!)

🚶 I’ll be walking every day for 40 days, which means a total of 455,000 steps! It’s a big challenge, but I’m really excited to do it!

💙 Why I’m Walking:

Whales and dolphins are incredible — they sing, they play, they take care of each other, and they even help keep the planet healthy. But they need our help. WDC works to protect them from things like pollution, hunting, and getting caught in fishing nets.

I want to raise as much money as I can to help WDC do their amazing work. Every step I take will help make a splash for ocean animals in trouble!

🐾 Will You Sponsor Me?

If you’d like to support me and help protect whales and dolphins, please consider sponsoring my walk. Any donation, big or small, will help — and I’ll be walking with a big smile knowing I have your support.

Thank you so much for helping me help the ocean! 🌊💙

Let’s make a difference together — one step at a time!

Love,

Eddie D'Ovidio 🐳👟
