My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I am trying to raise as much money as possible for the World Land Trust, a charity which helps purchase and protect the most critically endangered habitats that remain in the world.  Supported by Sir David Attenborough and working with local organisations in Central and South America, the Philippines and India, the trust has helped protect over 350,000 acres of threatened wildlife habitats since its foundation in 1989. 

Im doing a 20K walk on May 10th (not exactly climbing Everest I know) but please dig deep and sponsor me online.

You may be surprised to hear that it only costs £50 to save and protect 1 acre of endangered rainforest.  Please read the following paragraph for a brief example of one of the WLT's project areas, (and my personal project of choice).

The Atlantic rainforest in Brazil is considered one of the most endangered and ecologically important eco-regions in the world. Due primarily to clearing of forests for coffee plantations and logging for hardwoods there is now only 7% of the original area remaining, most of which consists of isolated fragmented patches. The massive destruction of this "Global Hotspot for Biodiversity" has been described as "one of the biological tragedies of this century" and makes preventing more loss of the Atlantic rainforest a priority for international conservation efforts.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: World Land Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support!
