A FOREST FOR ADAM

Throughout 2025, we’re celebrating the incredible life of award-winning poet and healthcare advocate Adam Bojelian by planting a forest in his name, and we need your help! 

Adam Bojelian was a remarkable young poet, born with cerebral palsy and later facing additional health challenges, who gained international recognition for his work. Despite these challenges, he communicated through blinking, writing multi-award-winning poetry that earned him honours like a Brit Writers Award and a Gold Blue Peter Badge. Among other accolades, The Independent on Sunday named him one of the UK’s 100 happiest influencers, and the Scotsman recognised him as one of the top 40 people to put Edinburgh on the map. Adam also became a healthcare advocate, sharing his experiences with policymakers, supporting health charities, and serving as Read for Good’s first young ambassador, bringing the charity’s hospital library service to Leeds Teaching Hospital.

Adam had a deep love of nature, which he expressed in many of his poems, as well as in his enjoyment of the changing seasons and the trees and gardens around him. Adam passed away in 2015 at just 15; his legacy of resilience, creativity, and joy lives on in his poetry and advocacy.

To mark the 10th anniversary of his death, we’re hosting 12 months of challenges set to his poems to plant a forest in his name, raise funds for Read for Good and help highlight the #NHS1000 challenge. 

Each quarter, we’ll release a set of four challenges to complete for Adam’s forest. For each one, you can choose between 5k, 10k, half marathon or 50k/mile challenges and can plant up to 30 trees, plus, we’ll donate £1 to the Read for Good charity. There will be 12 challenges representing a poem from his book, ‘Layers of the Rainforest’; collect all 12 poems, and we’ll plant an extra 10 trees for you and Adam.
