London Marathon 2024 · 21 April 2024 ·

For over 30 years, Tusk has helped pioneer a range of successful conservation initiatives across more than 20 African countries, safeguarding millions of hectares of ecosystems, empowering local communities and increasing protection for some of the continent's most treasured threatened species.

Story

At the ripe old age of 50 I have decided to do my first ever marathon for a cause very close to my heart. I will be running the London Marathon on 21st April 2024 to raise vital funds for Tusk.

Tusk is an incredible charity that works to fund exceptional conservation projects across Africa. Having had the privilege of spending many holidays in the bush in Southern Africa viewing some of the incedible wildlife, it terrifies me to think that future generations will not have the same opportunity to see The Big Five roaming freely in their natural habitat. If funds are not raised to stop the poaching this is a real possiblity. Tusk enables and empowers expert local conservationists who are best placed to direct the protection of Africa's wildlife.

Reasons to support Tusk:

- 46 endangered species benefit from Tusk's projects

- Tusk has secured over 40 million hectares of landscape for wildlife

- Over 4,500 people are employed directly by Tusk partners

- And more than 4million + benefit indirectly from Tusk's work

If you are able to support me in any way, every penny will go straight to supporting the planet's most astonishing wildlife and the vital communities that live alongside them.

THANK YOU!
