Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On August 27th, I am running in the Stavanger Half Marathon, accompanied by my friend Maria.  Please consider giving to support my favorite cause and motivation for running: Save the Elephants!

As you guys know, distance running is not my usual thing. ;)  So, for motivation during training and during the race, I have decided to support, Save the Elephants.  I had the honor of meeting Dr. Lucy King in 2013, and her overflowing passion for the cause was positively contagious.  Lucy heads up the Elephants & the Bees project, which studies elephant behavior for the purpose of conservation.  The project helps farmers to construct beehive fences which, thanks to elephants' natural fear of bees, ward off elephants from devastating crops and thus prevent human-elephant conflict.  Local farmers are also able to harvest honey from the beehive fences and market it to local safari camps as well as further afield.
