My half marathon challenge
Running Wild !
This marathon takes place in Northern Kenya, near Mount Kenya. Its gained a reputation for being hard - Running at 5,500 feet and on a dirt track its a long way away from the gentle banks of the Thames. (The route does pass a large marshy swamp full of crocs thou).
Why do it ? Well its running 22 km through some of Africa's most breathtaking (literally!) scenery and The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, by establishing and promoting community driven conservation projects, helps keep it that way.
If you get a moment please have a look at : http://www.tusk.org/ and/or http://www.lewa.org/ Both are really interesting.
Many thanks for sponsoring me and supporting wildlife conservation !
