Story

 I feel truly privileged to be included in the Run Wild Team for the 2019 Virgin-London Marathon. I am humbly asking for your help - however large or small - to raise funds for the purchase of a  “Run Wild Dragon” autogyro aircraft that will help law enforcement combat wildlife crime in Africa. These "dragons" allow rangers to scope out vast and inaccessible areas in minutes to beat poachers at their own game. Wildlife crime is big business - it's a multi-billion-dollar industry that increasingly involves organized crime groups who see wildlife as a low risk, high-value commodity and are systematically destroying the world's natural heritage. 

The Born Free Foundation has taken on the noble role of protecting our natural world and for this, we are all deeply indebted. I’m proud to be able to hit the streets of London this April 28th in aid of their tireless work to ensure all wild animals are treated with compassion and respect.
