Kenya’s record-breaking environmentalist, Truphena Muthoni, was on Monday awarded a Head of State Commendation (HSC) medal, along with other prizes, by President William Ruto at State House Nairobi.

Truphena currently holds the world record for the longest tree-hugging marathon at 48 hours, while her latest attempt of 72 hours is still awaiting ratification by Guinness World Records.
