Hi Everyone, Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. On spetember I will try to complete the Trans Alp Cycle challenge (visit this link to know more....The Epic Challenge Series - Trans-Alp Cycle - Threshold Sports)
to support Vodafone Foundation's Your Planet campaign, to help protect the world we live, love and breathe. With the health of our planet reaching crisis point, I'm taking a stand to support charities that are tackling biodiversity loss and plastic pollution through wildlife and marine conservation technology respectively.All donations support the work of the Tusk Trust - to help protect Africa's endangered wildlife - and The Ocean Clean-Up - to help remove 90% of floating ocean plastic pollution. Thank you for your support!
All money raised is matched by Vodafone Foundation.
OUR CHARITY PARTNERS
TUSK TRUST: This UK based charity has a vision for a future in which people and wildlife can both thrive across Africa. Founded at the height of the last poaching crisis in Africa when 100,000 elephants were being slaughtered every year for ivory, Tusk are on a mission to ensure we are not the generation that lets Africa's unique wildlife disappear. Through progressive conservation initiatives using technology, the conservation of healthy habitats and involving local people in the solutions, Tusk are paving the way for a sustainable future for Africa's incredible wildlife.

THE OCEAN CLEANUP: This Netherlands based charity is working to rid the world's oceans of plastic. Plastic pollution is set to quadruple by mid-century, impacting our ecosystems, health and economies. That's why The Ocean Cleanup team are embarking on the biggest clean-up in history, to remove 90% of floating ocean plastic pollution by 2040. On top of that, they're developing advanced solutions to intercept plastic in rivers, to halt it before it can enter the ocean.
