Alfie Watts, who won the reality series “Race Across the World” in 2023 with fellow contestant Owen Wood, is planning a charity trip from the UK to Norway. According to reports, Watts, 22, intends to travel by tuk-tuk as part of a fundraising effort for a mental health charity, with an aim of raising £100,000. The planning is described in connection with Watts’ personal experience: he previously attempted suicide as a teenager. The same accounts note that Watts has since become the youngest ever champion of the show, and that the Norway trip is expected to involve him driving the vehicle himself to support the mental health cause. Sources frame the initiative as both a fundraising effort and a personal project tied to his earlier experience with mental health challenges. Details on the trip timeline and route are not provided in the supplied excerpts.
