London Tree Marathon for Earth Day
Donation protected
Welcome to Isaac's "Treearathon" project fundraising page in aid of Earth Day 2024!
For this TCS London Marathon Isaac will be taking a different approach and will be educating about saving the planet and why trees are one of the solutions during his run.
During the run Isaac will sharing top tips for being more sustainable on a budget and will be distributing wildflower seeds to fellow runners and organisers of the London Marathon symbolising his dedication to environmental stewardship. It's a reminder that every action, no matter how small, contributes to a cleaner, greener world.
Isaac's run isn't a solo endeavour; it's a call to action. Fellow runners, spectators, and communities will be inspired to join in, bilding unity and collective effort towards a sustainable future. This record-breaking tree marathon isn't just about setting records. It's about making a difference. Isaac is running to raise awareness and funds for eco-adventures for underprivileged individuals, partnering with Climate Explorers CIC 's dedicated fund for environmental education.
Isaac will carbon offset using “Climate Games ” verified tree carbon offsets during the marathon and for his travel to and from the marathon. This has a connection to carbon dioxide levels and how his tree costume serves as a visual representation of a carbon sink or a way to reduce these CO2 levels for a sustainable planet.
People will be able to place donation bets on how much offset will be collected at the end of the run-through Climate Games.
Isaac is teaming up with eco-friendly brands, from recyclable vegan trainers and clothes from Hylo Athletics and recyclable plant-based socks from TekoForLife to recycled ocean plastic watches with Triwa. These partnerships embody our commitment to a sustainable future.

WHY Climate Explorers CIC as the CAUSE?
Isaac says: "I'm not just raising funds; I'm championing a cause close to my heart. I am the CEO and co-founder of Climate Explorers CIC which was born from the success of the Pedal 4 Parks world-first eco-adventure impact campaign, it's all about highlighting nature-based climate solutions, promoting environmental awareness, and developing great physical and mental well-being through "eco-adventures" in the great outdoors.
Our commitment extends to local communities (underprivileged), organisations, and businesses. We provide invaluable advice and guidance on sustainable initiatives and innovations. Our knowledge is derived from the exploration of climate solutions worldwide, and it's all geared towards increasing awareness, driving collaboration, and spurring innovation in the battle against climate change.
We firmly believe that awareness and education are the cornerstones of change. We empower people to make a difference by connecting them to critical information. This knowledge helps accelerate the implementation of climate solution projects globally, building a more adaptable and resilient economy in the face of climate challenges.
We're not just about words; we're about action. Our training, workshops, and communication efforts are designed to educate, raise awareness, and drive change within organisations. We equip businesses with the tools they need to become more sustainable and provide employees with the motivation and guidance to thrive.
Our commitment to education extends to pupils at educational institutions. We teach them about the vital role of nature in our planet's ecosystems and why it needs protection—for both physical and mental health. We're not just educators; we're advocates for the environment and champions of mental health.
We don't just stop at our initiatives; we encourage community members to support other grassroots charities dedicated to climate action. We connect like-minded groups, promote their work, and drive collective efforts to create lasting change.
As an eco-adventurer, I'm trying to explore and uncover climate solutions. I aim to inspire and motivate the global community to join us in supporting these solutions. After all, without a planet, there's no outdoor playground, no biodiversity, and no humanity. We're here to protect our environment, and we invite you to stand with us.
Your Donation Matters: Every contribution you make supports Climate Explorers CIC in our mission to make the world a better, more sustainable place. Join us, and let's protect our planet for generations to come. Your impact starts here! "
