Story
This 17-day expedition to Namibia has been organised through Jake's school, Dr. Challoner's Grammar School. Students are expected to raise the funds to cover the cost of the trip themselves; they will be camping throughout the visit. The Africat Foundation works with farmers, the general public and a local school to conserve Namibia's big cat species. Its ultimate aim is to educate local communities about how they can work alongside big cats, instead of killing or capturing them to remove them from precious arable land.
On Thursday 1st September, Jake will be doing a Drumathon to raise money for his cause. He will be drumming with no break for as long as possible to a playlist of rock songs on his iPod. He is aiming for 2.5 - 3 hours non-stop, which is between 35 and 45 songs without a break. His marathon will be filmed at XYZ Drum School in Westcott, near Aylesbury, courtesy of Duncan Lee. The video will be uploaded to Jake's YouTube channel as evidence of his endeavour.
Please give generously to support this worthwhile cause and to spur Jake on to play for as long as he can!
Thank you - we really appreciate your help.

8 years agoThank you so much, everyone - we've raised £720 between us towards my visit to Africat in Namibia next July, which is amazing. I am so grateful to all of you and thankful that I learnt to play the drums and that music will always be a part of my life. I will let you know how our money has helped to save the Big Cats in Africa after my trip. With very best wishes to you all - Jake x
