Story
Habitat destruction, human-wildlife conflict, drought and poaching continue to pose a huge threat to wild lives in Kenya. That’s why I am taking on the RideLondon-Surrey 100 in support of protecting Kenya’s iconic species. On 4th August 2019, I will be cycling 100 miles in aid of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - a charity that’s dedicated to the protection and preservation of Kenya’s wildlife. At the heart of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is the pioneering Orphans’ Project that has successfully hand-raised over 200 orphaned elephants, gradually reintroducing them into the wild where they belong! The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust doesn’t just rehabilitate orphaned elephants, they also operate 12 De-Snaring Teams and five Mobile Veterinary Units, as well as an Aerial Surveillance team that work tirelessly, around the clock, to provide protection to all wildlife. This is how your donation can make a difference: • £15 - could keep an orphan baby elephant warm with a lined blanket • £20 - could feed a baby elephant with special milk formula for a day • £55 - could fund an Anti-Poaching Team for a day, keeping wildlife safe from snares and poachers • £200 - could fund a Mobile Veterinary Unit for two days, treating all kinds of injured wildlife • £900 - could provide first class care for an orphaned baby elephant for one month Thank you so much for your support. With your help, we can save more wild lives!
