On Sunday, May 18th commencing at midnight I will embark upon an attempt to race up Rinjani in the dark of night and without sleep to summit and then complete the balance of the race in under a 15 hour cut-off time. The race organizer is F-One Sports and is a UTMB Indexed event. Of course, I will share with all of you if I/when I complete the race! Your contributions will help give me the extra effort needed to push through the finish line.

The Trafigura Foundation (www.trafigurafoundation.org) will also provide a 100% match for all funds we raise together. All proceeds will go to a very respectable charity called Planet Indonesi whose mission is to conserve at-risk ecosystems through integrate community led governance to address socio-economic challenges. Of course, the focus is within Indonesia.

Planet Indonesia is a 501(c)(3) organization in the United States that partners with our Indonesian-based nonprofit branch, Yayasan Planet Indonesia. They provide community-based services to reduce socio-economic inequalities in rural communities.

Planet Indonesia was named a winner of the United Nations Development Program Equator Initiative for advancing nature-based local solutions for sustainable development.

Planet Indonesia provides community-based services in three sectors: business, education, and healthcare in exchange for protecting and resorting some of the world’s most critical ecosystems.
