Raf has decided to raise some money for wildlife this year because he is passionate about the environment and animals. He's decided to go caving with Somerset Wildlife Trust, he loves exploring small and underground spaces. Apparently I have to go with him, even though I hate the idea and am pretty terrified of getting stuck in small spaces - too many bad horror movies I think!

So, we're going caving on the Mendips at the end of March. Raf (& I) would be absolutely delighted if you'd like to sponsor us to cheer us on.

And because I have an amazing fundraising team that can persuade anyone to do anything, I'm also walking 30 miles across Exmoor on 22nd June for the Exmoor Perambulation. Not sure how I got myself into that one either. Apparently I have to navigate my own way round the 30 mile course - wish I'd done Duke of Edinburgh at school now. If I'm not in contact on Sunday 23rd June please someone send out a search party!!

So, there you have it - 2 adventures in a few months. Any support you can give is fantastically appreciated. Thank you.

Somerset Wildlife Trust is doing great things for nature and wildlife in this amazing county.

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

This is why I am raising funds for the Somerset Wildlife Trust who are working hard to change this. By sponsoring me, you'll help the Trust build on their huge conservation success stories in Somerset.
