Over the last 5 years, Harvey has had to come to terms with the loss of his older brother Ed, who died in 2015. Harvey and Ed shared a passion for farming and the great outdoors. To help deal with the loss of his brother at such a young age, Harvey found the support he needed at Treetops Hospice Care in Derbyshire. Treetops provides counselling and emotional support for children, young people, adults and families who are dealing with a life-limiting illness or bereavement. The charity supports young people like Harvey with their emotional wellbeing, giving them the tools they need to be open about their feelings and
helping them live with the loss of their loved one into the future. Despite the challenges he has faced, Harvey still has a passion for farming and enjoys spending the holidays helping out on his greatuncle’s farm. Ahead of the ramble, he said: “I can’t wait to get going with my ramble. I really enjoy being in the outdoors, and spending time with Matt Baker and the Countryfile team will be a great experience. I’m so happy to be taking part in something I know will go on to support others who, like me, have had to deal with bereavement and the loss of someone close.” Harvey’s mum, Amanda, added:
