Story
Well, its that time of year again as we begin preparations for the Rhino Charge.
After surprising many people including ourselves with how well we did
last year, we have made numerous modifications to the car which will
hopefully give us added advantage this year. More importantly, we
raised plenty of money - thanks to your generosity.
On the 31st May, “The Frying Squad” will be entering the Rhino Charge 2010 where participants and spectators come together to raise money for the Rhino Ark.
For those of you who don't know, The Rhino Charge is a gruelling 4WD race representing one of the toughest off-road challenges in the world. The objective is to complete 13 check points across the most gruelling terrain in the shortest distance within a 10 hour time limit. It is about determination, commitment, team-building and above all charity. All money raised through this event is donated to the Rhino Ark.
The Rhino Ark Charitable Trust aims to preserve Aberdare National Park which is one of the most spectacular wildlife areas in East Africa. It is a mountainous area containing a wealth of species including the endangered black rhino, elephants & the Bongo.
Unfortunately, the forest and its endangered wildlife have been under increasing threat due to poaching & illegal logging and we need to act fast to save this wonderful ecosystem for future generations. The Rhino Ark Charitable Trust was formed in 1988 to help protect the Black Rhino from the brink of extinction when it was being mercilessly poached for its horn. The trust has since evolved into a conservation project for the entire Aberdare region and has been extremely successful.
The Rhino Ark Charitable Trust aims to preserve this wonderful ecosystem and resolve the human-wildlife conflict by constructing and maintaining an electric fence to keep the animals in and the poachers and loggers out. You can get more information about the Trust at: www.rhinoark.org
We aim to do our part by raising 1,000,000 Ksh (approximately £8,000) which will fund the construction of One Kilometre of fencing.
Please give whatever you can, it all adds up.
Thank you so much for your support and generosity.
