I have now completed over 80% of my sponsored virtual challenge from John O’ Groats to Land’s End in aid of Ataxia UK. I am over the moon because the End to End website have planted a tree for me after I completed 703 miles of my trek, with more to follow as I continue my journey.
You’ve reached 80% of your challenge! You’ve just planted your 4th tree!
Did you know?
Trees help cool the planet by sucking in and storing harmful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into their trunks, branches, and leaves — and releasing oxygen back into the atmosphere. In cities, trees can reduce ambient temperatures by up to 8° Celsius. With more than 50% of the world’s population living in cities — a number expected to increase to 66% by the year 2050 — pollution and overheating are becoming a real threat. Fortunately, a mature tree can absorb an average of 22lbs of carbon dioxide per year, making cities a healthier, safer place to live.
