Max Woosey, from Braunton in North Devon, is doing it for his local hospice after they cared for his neighbour before he died.

He's been camping in his back garden since March.

Max's neighbour gave him the tent before passing, telling him to use it for 'an adventure'.

In a post online Max said: "My name is Max, I am 11 years old and I am raising money for the North Devon Hospice because they looked after our friend and enabled him to pass peacefully at home with those closest to him which was his final wish.

"Sadly most of the fundraising is now cancelled or closed due to Covid-19 so they are missing out on vital funds.

"I have been camping out since 29th March 2020 and am going to try and do a year.

"My friend Rick gave me his tent before he died and made me promise to have an adventure so that’s what I’m doing."
