Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On August 6th I will be competing in the UK Ultra South Downs 100 mile ultramarathon. It will be my 1st attempt at the distance and I have decided I’d like to try and raise a few quid for the Wildlife rescue ambulance service (WRAS) in the process. 

I have always had a passion for wildlife and have followed the great work Trevor and everyone at the WRAS do to help sick and injured wildlife for a number of years. 

After reading about the current situation they are experiencing (read below), I felt that I had to try to help.

There is a huge wildlife crisis in East Sussex right now. With Rogers Wildlife Rescue closed, Bird Aid and RSPCA temporarily closed and others either not open or running a reduced service, this mixed with Avian Flu killing gulls along the East Sussex coast, our local wildlife is in serious trouble.

We fear that thousands of casualties are at risk of just being euthanised at local vets practices if East Sussex WRAS can't obtain more funding to expand, buy property and increase capacity. The pressure on East Sussex WRAS' staff and volunteers, to deliver our core purpose, has never been higher. Many are working long into the night to do everything they can to help. We are trying our best to compensate for the loss of facilities in the county as much as we can, but it all comes at a cost which is already eating into our funds.

As you can see they are in desperate need of financial help, so please, if you can help by making a donation, no matter how small, it all helps.
