12-year-old Max wins Pride of Britain Award

Max Woosey, a 12-year-old from Devon, has won a prestigious Pride of Britain Award after spending more than 19 months sleeping in a tent for  charity.

Max has nearly raised £700,000 for North Devon Hospice - a local charity providing specialist care and support to people who are affected by a life-limiting illness.

At 8pm each night, the 12-year-old puts on his pyjamas, says goodnight to his parents and makes his way to the garden. The marathon camper has now been sleeping outdoors braving sub-zero frosts, heatwaves, and even recent storms. 

You can donate to Max's Just Giving page here.
