Thank you guys for your kind donations keep up to date by following my blog. 3 months to go!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I work at Wildlife Heritage Foundation, Kent. I have always loved Snow leopards but in 2011 my love for them grew. I was lucky enough to visit Northern India while on honeymoon. On our first morning in the mountains we saw a wild Snow leopard from 1km away. I know people who have been out to these remote places over 9 times and never seen one.

Ranschan who was our male Snow leopard at WHF died in 2012 at the age of 9 years. He was a very dear member of our family and my next door neighbour. Laila who was his mate is still living at WHF and is still missing Ranny. She is awaiting a new mate to come to our collection of some of the most endangered species of cats on the planet.

Keeping our cats in the best conditions is our policy and something we do well. We recently had a major donation to revamp the enclosure the snowies are in, due to the resession and job losses. We need to find funding from elswhere.

My Challenge as a cyclist is to complete the London - Edinburgh 400 mile ride usually done over 4 days in just 2!! The route is still being clarified but it looks like it will be starting at London Bridge on 4th May, The half way marker is York were I can have a 4 hour break and sleep then up and riding again to complete the final 200 miles to Edinburgh. The ride itself is going to be bad enough but the training is tough in its self. I will update my weekly training schedual every couple of weeks.

I will also put up some before pictures of the Laila's enclosures so you can see what we are looking at improving.

Thank you in advance for donating and please keep an eye on my page to see any updates.
