Max Woosey got in the tent as a 10-year-old from Devon, UK, and has emerged three years later as a Guinness World Record holder for his contributions to charity.
The “Boy in the Tent” has spent every night under canvas since February 2020. His epic camping trip has taken him from Southwest England to London Zoo and the garden of the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street and back again.
Though most of his nights have been spent pitched at the end of the family garden.
Woosey, 13, began camping inspired by a family friend who died of cancer to raise donations for the North Devon Hospice. He subsequently went on to camp in his garden throughout a pandemic and break the Guinness World Record for the most money raised by camping.
By March he had raised £750,000 ($1.48 million) for the hospice.
