A British boy who spent three years sleeping outdoors in a tent in memory of his late neighbor has raised almost a million dollars for charity. Earning himself the nickname Tent Boy, his story has gone global and is inspiring a new generation of kids to believe in their own potential.
Max Woosey of Devon in southern England is 13 years old. He was just 10 when his neighbor, 74-year-old Rick Abbott, a friend who enjoyed outdoor activities like kayaking and surfing with his father, passed away from cancer on Valentine’s Day 2020 after being cared for by North Devon Hospice. Abbot gave Max a gift before he passed away.
