Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am a huge animal lover and, having grown up in South Africa, have a particular love for wildlife. 

I have always believed that suffering, exploited animals are in need of a voice and in 2013 I made a conscious decision to become actively involved with an organisation who's aspirations and beliefs were closest to mine. When I came across Born Free's plea for help in returning Simba the lion to Africa after being rescued from a European circus, I needed to look no further. From there on in we as a family pledged to help Born Free as best we can for the foreseeable future. 

In February this year I was lucky enough to join the Born Free rescue and rehabilitation team on Simba's journey from Europe to Malawi which was an overwhelmingly wonderful experience. I now have first hand knowledge of Born Free's dedication and commitment. 

I am extremely motivated to climb with the Born Free team and raise as much sponsorship money as possible.  If like me me you wish to assist Born Free in their efforts to protect wild animals,  please support me on my challenge.

Thank you! Off now to continue my training in the Surrey Hills……Sue x
