Hello and Thank you for taking a moment to read my fundraising page. On the April 21st 2008 myself and a team of 5 others are going to be taking part in an ultra marathon in South Africa which has the following distances: Day One~57km,Day Two~ 45km, Day Three~47km, Day 4~ 83km, Day 5~ 46km a total of 278km (about 175miles) about 35miles a day on average. Over the 5 days which we will be taking it in turns of 2 hours each to wear the famous rhino costume which weighs a further 8kg. We will be also carrying all our own food and provisions for the week eg. sleeping bag, general kit etc. 12-15kgs. Why such a foolhardy mission? To raise money and awareness for firstly the rhino and in general the wildlife reserves and general dynamics surrounding the habitats to help local populations appreciate their wildlife and ultimately sustain it. You may not be a specific rhino fan but if you consider the environment of the rhino it will also support the conservation and natural habitats of the Big 5 i.e. (Lion Elephant Buffalo Leopard) not to mention the cheetah, zebra, giraffe and dozens of other animals are going to be protected through Save the Rhino's support for education, anti-poaching and general conservation. What I am saying is unless we continue to support charities such as SRi these magnificent animals just ain't going to be there. Simple as that! Save the Rhino are changing this along with many other notable charities so please make a generous donation for a challenge which we are all individually paying for out of our own money and all of your donations will actually go to the charity. Thank you once again and if you would like to ask questions please feel free to email me at honeybadger666@hotmail.com. Picture of me in the suit with team on a training run.
