I've always been passionate about outdoor activities and nature conservation, so this is the ideal opportunity to combine the two and raise some money for a charity that plays a vital role in protecting local wildlife and habitats.

Over half of UK species have declined since 1970, while more than one in ten are under threat and at risk of disappearing altogether.

The Somerset Wildlife Trust is working hard to change this, and by sponsoring me you'll help the Trust build on its huge conservation success stories in the region.
