Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running my first marathon in Brighton in April 2017 and wanted to support the Zoological Society of London's EDGE of Existence programme.

The EDGE of Existence programme is the only global conservation initiative to focus, highlight and protect some of the most unique and endangered species and their habitats on the planet.

I worked at London Zoo for a few years as a student, where I found out about the essential conservation work ZSL does around the world.

There are many causes that are close to my heart, species and habitat protection being one of them.

I have since run twice in the annual 10k 'Stampede' at London Zoo, thanks sis for the heads up!

Though I have always loved to move and take care of my wellbeing and fitness I have only ever been an occasional runner over the years. By joining the Stampede, having so much fun taking part and training along the way I made the big decision to take the jump on a life long ambition to run a marathon.
