Story

Hi Everyone

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. 

Since 2013, Vodafone employees (#TeamVodafone) have helped the Vodafone Foundation tackle some of the world's most pressing problems through fitness and fundraising. We have ran, cycled and hiked our way to £9m, fundraising for the refugee crisis, mental health and human trafficking to name a few.

In October 2022, I will be taking part in the Rwenzori (Uganda) Epic Challenge to support Vodafone Foundation's "Your Planet" campaign and the Tusk Trust, in helping to protect the world we live in. The challenge consists of a four day (8 hours/day) trek through the landscapes of the Rwenzori Mountains National Park where finally, I will ascend to Mutinda Lookout (3974m).

With the health of our planet reaching crisis point, I'm taking a stand to support the Tusk Trust in their mission to amplify the impact of progressive conservation initiatives across Africa - working towards a future in which people and wildlife can thrive together. Through progressive conservation initiatives using technology, the conservation of healthy habitats and involving local people in the solutions, Tusk are paving the way for a sustainable future for Africa's incredible wildlife.  

How can your contributions help the Tusk Trust?

- £25 could fund a wildlife ranger’s rations for a month and £100 could cover a community scout’s field rations for four months

- £50 could build five desks for a primary school and £100 could sponsor a class to take part in an environmental education programme

- £100 could purchase a GPS enabled camera to monitor wildlife

- £500 could sponsor a 4-man anti-poaching team in the field for a month

All donations will be matched by Vodafone and will support the work of the Tusk Trust in helping to protect Uganda's endangered wildlife. 

I'm really excited to be taking part in this adventure of a lifetime and look forward to sharing my experience with you! 

Thank you for your support!
