The Highland Tiger faces faces extinction in the wild. Can you help to support the Scottish wildcat's future?

I've never ran a marathon, but this year I'll be running races across the UK, including the epic Glencoe Marathon, in the heart of the Wildcat's territory. Just looking at the training plan, throughout the year I will run over 400 miles, that's 1 mile for every Scottish Wildcat remaining!

The Scottish Wildcat, the Highland Tiger, is an iconic native species yet there are less of them left than their also endangered and slightly larger cousins, the Tiger. The RZSS' pioneering initiative to build a wildcat reintroduction centre could literally save a species, that is just a whisker away from extinction. The good news is you can help fund the centre and the resources required to make it happen! 

My goal is to raise as much money as possible but here's your donation will go towards:

£7.50 could feed a wildcat for a week

£30 could vaccinate one of the cats to protect them from disease

£350 could feed a wildcat for an entire year in the new centre

£1500 could buy a GPS collar to monitor a wildcat once it has been released into the wild

Wish me luck! You can follow my progress on instagram.
