Story
I will be joining my 15-year-old daughter for our second extreme challenge. I aim to walk and wild-camp the entire length of Devon – a total of 188 km – in one week, to raise money for The Word Forest Organisation, an environmental and education charity based in the UK.
The Word Forest Organisation works to combat the devastating effects of global warming and climate change by planting fast-growing (predominantly food-bearing) trees in the tropics, where trees grow up to 10 times faster than anywhere else on the planet, helping to mitigate climate change at a pace.
They also support women’s empowerment, build classrooms and facilitate education in the local communities who help them with tree-planting. In addition, the Word Forest Organisation raises environmental awareness and plants trees within the UK.
