Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know I am moving out to South Africa in January. As you may also know, Rhino poaching is at an all time high in Africa. In 2013, there were recorded to be 1004 Rhino poached in South Africa alone. This was an all time high. However by the end of June 2014, that figure is already at 596. That is one Rhino being poached a staggering every 8 hours!! Unfortunately this wonderful, prehistoric animal is now critically endangered and runs the risk of being extinct in the next few decades! There are two species of Rhino in Africa, White and Black. The White population is decreasing dramatically, and well, the Black is already at an all time low. I have been to Africa for many months over my life time, and I have never seen a Black Rhino. That's how rare they are now! 

As I am moving out to the 'bush', I am obviously extremely passionate about conservation, and I know that many of you are too. I have had the unfortunate opportunity of seeing a killed Rhino with its horn docked. It really is a heart wrenching experience to see. Therefore my father and I are going to be doing a skydive from 2 miles high in the sky, to raise some money for 'Save The Rhino Foundation'. Our skydive will be taking place in mid August in Oxfordshire. A £5 donation can help to raise state of the art equipment to fight the poachers. But most importantly it helps to raise funds to teach locals that it is so much better to save these animals, rather than harvest them!

If you can find the smallest amount of money, even 50p, to donate, then your help will be gratefully appreciated by us and the Rhino! Photos etc will be posted of the skydive to prove we have done it, and for everyone to have a right laugh at us! Thanks everyone!
