Impressive!
A 13-year-old boy who spent three years camping in his garden to raise money for a local hospice has set a Guinness World Record for the biggest sum raised by camping.
His efforts allowed the hospice to provide 15 community nurses for an entire year, enough to help 500 patients get care in their own homes. Max’s adventure began at the start of the first lockdown when he was just 10 years old after his neighbour Rick Abbot gave him a tent with strict instructions to ‘have an adventure’.
Mr Abbot was diagnosed with terminal cancer soon after and passed away in February 2020. Max’s family supported Rick in his final months and were in awe of the care he received at North Devon Hospice. “I am so excited to have this Guinness World Records title, it is every boy’s dream. It is incredible to be part of this very special club. I have had the best three years of my life. There have been some struggles, but it has been an amazing experience and I have loved it from day one. I only set out to have an adventure and raise £100. I hope people see that children are capable of a lot more than people think.
