My name is Tyla Roelofsz, I am a Zimbabwean girl with a great passion for running and an even greater passion for wildlife. I am running my first half marathon and would like you to help me raise money and create awareness for an organisation I believe well deserves it. 

Found only in Africa, the African Wild Dog is an endangered species that lives mainly in the Savanna and regions where it is very arid. Also referred to as the hunting dog or the painted wolf. It is estimated that less than 7,000 remain in the wild, and the money I raise will go towards the educational programme run in Zimbabwe, an anti-poaching unit, pack monitoring and re-habilitation facility.
