Jamie and Doms 1 million step challenge, 27 May 2020
Despite everything, Chester Zoo is still preventing extinction. From caring for 35,000 animals to helping conservation organisations across the world manage the impact of this crisis, our fight for wildlife will not stop!

Story

One million steps. One month.

We are Jamie and Dom - Chief Operating Officer and Operations Director at Chester Zoo - and we have pledged to walk a collective one million steps around the zoo site in the first month were back open to the public, all to raise vital funds and secure the future of this incredible organisation we’re so proud to work for.

Chester Zoo has a very special place in the hearts of many millions of people, and for all those people who haven’t been able to visit us, might not be able to visit at all this year and who have been missing the zoo so much during lockdown – this challenge is dedicated to you.  

It’s going to be tough. There will be hard days. But preventing extinction isn’t easy.

So please give, if you can. It means the world to us!

And keep checking back for progress updates (plus photos from some of your favourite zoo spots).
