Story
Completing a half ironman for Virunga National Park, an organisation working to protect a species that is very close to my heart! Any donations, big or small are massively appreciated and will help further support this amazing organisation... and also give me a little bit of extra motivation to spur me on in my race!
Virunga National Park is Africa’s most biodiverse protected area, home to over one thousand species of mammal, bird, reptile, and amphibian as well as 1/3 of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas. . Despite being a UNESCO world heritage site, Virunga is constantly threatened by war, poaching and illegal activities as well as unpreventable natural disasters. With the support of donors, the Virunga Foundation actively conserves the Park which spans over 3,000 square miles.
If you have the time, watch the 'Virunga' movie on Netflix to find out more about the amazing work that is done there :)
