I have now completed over 60% of my sponsored virtual challenge along Route 66 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 over 1350 miles of my trek, with more to follow as I continue my journey.

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.
