African born and bred but now living in the UK, Patrick and Shane have a strong affinity with nature.

The purpose of the hike is to challenge the boys fitness who are turning 40 and 30 respectively this year in August (just before and after the hike) and in so doing raise funds for ZSL who are a global conservation charity making a difference in over 50 countries across the globe.

Both guys have pledged to complete the challenge and hope that you will support them financially....and if you are so inclined, donate some funds towards their cause for the mere fact that these old dogs are doing this for their birthdays. 😆
