My story
Hi there & thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
After receiving a text message on New Years Eve whilst under the influence of a few red wines i found myself agreeing to do the Berlin Marathon in September!! Originally i wasn't going to run for any charity or raise sponsor money - i just wanted to rise to the challenge & do it! Then after a life changing trip to the Elephant Orphanage in Kenya i realised that i wanted to do more to support them & that this would be a perfect way to do it.
The DSWT is a charity close to my heart - if you have ever watched "Elephant Diaries" then you will have seen the great work they do. As my 40th birthday treat i was lucky enough to see this first hand and spent time with my fostered elephant, Dida. My first visit to the orphanage co-incided with the rescue of a week old calf called Milgis & so predictably i found myself the foster parent of another ellie! Unfortunately Milgis was beyond saving & died by the time i arrived back home. During the trip i'd taken a shine to another little one, Kibo, who had taken great delight in kicking my husband Dave & he has become part of the Hughes family :0)
To find out more about the DSWT log onto to www.sheldrickwildlife.trust.org who knows, maybe you'll end up fostering a baby ellie too!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Thanks for your support,
