A very silly idea…

The stark reality of signing up for a marathon has now hit me. Am I ready? Nope. But I'm in Valencia and I will be running the marathon on 3rd December 2023. It's not going to be pretty, but hopefully the thought of me huffing and puffing round 26 miles brings a smile to a few faces.

Tis the season for sharing, so I'm asking my friends and family to add a small donation to this page to help raise money for the communities protecting endangered wildlife this Christmas.

Run for Rangers, Race for Wildlife…

I've joined a team of people raising funds in 2023 to support the Ranger Community in Africa who are protecting wildlife and conserving invaluable wilderness areas.

Role of Rangers

Rangers are Africa’s unsung heroes. They don’t just fight poaching – they are conservationists, teachers, community support workers, leaders and much more. The Rangers that we support in the Zambezi Valley carry out their patrol across contiguous wildlife protected areas of 12,282 sq km, under threat from illegal poaching, deforestation, mining and encroachment

Where your Donation Goes

Your contribution to “Rangers in the UK” will support Rangers who patrol in Zimbabwe’s wildlife rich Zambezi Valley’s protected areas. Every £ raised through JustGiving will earn a 25% match.

Our Africa-based partner is The Tashinga Initiative Trust supports conservation efforts across Zimbabwe's Zambesi Valley, including 6 x Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2023 ZimParks Widlife Ranger Challenge teams.

Tashinga Initiative will ensure that your donation will go towards Rangers’ patrol needs such as deployment, patrol kit, training, food security, communication devices. You will be helping these communities succeed and ultimately turn the tide of the war on wildlife!
