Romeo Cox, a 10 year-old living in Sicily, decided to walk 2,800 kilometers (about 1,700 miles) to visit his grandmother in the UK.He hadn't seen his Granny for a year and a half, and during the Covid-19 lockdown, he started planning to go see her.His parents took some convincing, but Romeo says they relented after he asked them more than 50 times.Romeo planned the trip to be Covid-safe and took his dad along for good measure.His dad's experience as a journalist working in war zones served them well during the trek, when they had to fend off wild dogs.They took some time to volunteer at a refugee camp in Northern Calais, and Romeo turned the walk into a fundraiser for the Refugee Education Across Conflicts Trust.After the 2,800 km trek, he finally got the hug from his granny that he had so longed for.
