MY STORY

In November 2025, I will take on one of the toughest journeys of my life: a 100- kilometre trek across the dramatic Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa. This is not for the faint hearted due to its varying weather conditions, difficult and challenging terrain. For 8 days I will face relentless climbs, thin air, unpredictable weather, climbing up 35 mins on a self-built steel ladder, and the kind of physical and mental exhaustion that pushes you to your edge.

So why am i doing this?

Because the fight to protect our planet's wildlife be it in our oceans or on land cannot wait! Because I believe in the courage of women leading change. And because the Black Mambas are truly extraordinary rangers, who deserve every bit of support we can give them.

My goal is to help with my team raise USD 50,000 through Helping Rhinos, the charity that funds the Mamba's work. My teammates are incredible women from all around the world - business leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, all united for conservation.

Every donation will go towards training, equipment and community outreach that strengthens their ability to protect endangered animals and inspire the next generation in this unpredictable future we are in.

This trek is not just about me walking through mountains, it's about walking for something bigger, for the Rhinos, for Biodiversity, for Women proving that leadership looks like resilience, compassion and strength.

Whether its $5, $50 or $500, your support will help fuel a mission that matters, protecting what cannot protect itself.

With much gratitude to my friends and family
