Aviemore Half Maratho · 14 October 2012

We believe rhinos are magnificent. And they are endangered. To survive, they need a safe and diverse world. Yet today, they face immense threats. With your fundraising and donations, we can work alongside expert partners and move closer towards our vision: for all rhino species to thrive.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>As many of my friends and family know I am no natural born runner, however I set myself a New Year's resolution... Starting "joggling" regularly. In an attempt to keep me motivated I have entered several 10k races during the summer, finishing off with a half marathon in Aviemore in October, three days before a Univeristy exam.&nbsp;</p> <p>Since entering these races, I have become increasingly aware of the plight that Rhino's are up against in Southern Africa. This year alone, over 40 Rhinos have been killed, where the average as at 10 February was one every 21 hours. Poachers are using chainsaws to hack off the horn and leaving the Rhinos, and even elephants, too weak to move and bleed to death. &nbsp;Rhinos are already considered endangered and at the current rate of poaching, they will be extinct soon, some estimates within the next 5 years.</p> <p>Sooo...please donate! &nbsp;</p> <p>More information on the great work by Save The Rhino:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.savetherhino.org/eTargetSRINM/site/1/default.aspx">http://www.savetherhino.org/eTargetSRINM/site/1/default.aspx</a></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
