A young boy who has raised more than £700k by sleeping outside in a tent is ending his challenge after three years - and finally coming back inside. Inspirational Max Woosey, 13, who has lived more than a thousand nights under canvas in memory of a family friend who died of cancer, has announced the end of his epic camp out.
The teen, known as 'The Boy in the Tent', started sleeping in his garden in March 2020, aged 10, and his exploits have raised enough to fund 15 full time hospice nurses. Max's exploits have directly supported in excess of 500 patients at the North Devon Hospice.
During his adventure he has been awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM), camped out in front of exotic locations such as London Zoo, 10 Downing Street, Twickenham Rugby Stadium, and received a tent from Bear Grylls. And Max says he plans to end his three year run with a final celebratory camp-out festival on 1 April at Broomhill Estate in North Devon.
