Story

Hello I hope you’re all well!. To those of you that don’t know me I’m an actor and animal lover and an official advocate of the Born Free Foundation. 

Please support myself and Born Free in giving animals a FUTURE. 

Play a part in protecting this planets beautiful animals. Please support myself and Born Free who work tirelessly around the clock to ensure to the best of their ability that ALL animals are treated with compassion & respect. By donating you will help in so many ways, an example: you will help the upkeep of Born Free’s big cat sanctuary in Africa including feeding and essentials that are needed to give these beautiful animals a better life than what they had!. What some people really don’t realise is that once these beautiful animals are gone they are GONE and only in pictures and videos they will remain. Please support myself and Born Free in ensuring that this kind of thing DOES NOT HAPPEN! - your money will help keep these beautiful animals out of harms way and in a stable protected environment!. Your support will help fund Born Free’s numerous campaigns and projects including: protecting and compassionately conserving threatened species; ending captive animal suffering and exploitation; rescuing individual wild animals, and challenging the trade in wild animals and their products such as ivory, trophies, and rhino horn. The Born Free Foundation relies on caring people like us to help ensure a safer and kinder long-term future for wild animals. ‪We need to educate younger generations, one of the most important pieces of education we can put upon them is that animals need our help they have feelings & feel pain like us but they can’t say aloud how they’re feeling... that’s where we come in...‬ WE ARE THEIR VOICE!. 

Born Free work tirelessly to ensure that all wild animals, whether living in captivity or in the wild, are treated with compassion and respect. They work across the world to preserve, protect and rescue wild animals in need – finding Compassionate Conservation solutions so that humans and wildlife can co-exist peacefully. Help us take action and Keep Wildlife in the Wild.

I completed my first ever Marathon for Born Free last year the 40th race the London virtual marathon with my cousin Dec the biggest challenge of my life so far, I’ll be doing the same this year but live at the London Marathon to raise money for the animals once again, they’ve been a special part of my families hearts since the beginning so being an official advocate & getting to run for them makes me extremely proud. The money goes towards helping Born Free’s numerous campaigns, the upkeep of animals in their care and more!. Thank you so much to those of supporting once again and those of you supporting for the first time, I really appreciate you all.
