Biography
Millie is 16 years old and from Loughborough, Leicestershire.
I'm currently working hard to raise £3000 to cover the costs of a charity expedition to Sumatra in 2020. During the expedition I will be helping to replant parts of the rainforest in order to protect the endangered Sumatran orangutan species. There are currently less than 15,000 Orangutans surviving in the wild due to habitat loss and poaching, and hope my expedition will be a step in the right direction towards improving these shocking figures!
