Another Ugandan, Ariokot Faith Patricia who is a Climate Activist, has broken a Guinness World Record for the longest tree hug by an individual! ‘Treemendous hug’
On 8th December 2023, Patricia attempted and broke the record but her camera glitched and missed minutes of the attempt.
Today, she started the re-attempt at 6:30am at Hotel May 7 in Soroti City and broke the world record of 8 hours but set a new Record after stopping at exactly 15hours and 19 minutes.
She wanted to make at least 17 hours but lightening struck and she had no choice but to stop the attempt.
She has exceeded the current record for the longest tree hug set by Adrienne Long in 2020 at 10 hours and 5 minutes.
Ariokot joins another Ugandan Mama D who set the new World Record for the Longest Cooking Marathon by an Individual yesterday.
