This is our 12th year of competing in the Rhino Charge to raise money to fund the invaluable work that the Rhino Ark Charitable Trust do to protect Kenya's Forest Ecosystems as well as run livelihood projects in the communities that live in and around these forests.

Our forests are a vital component of a reliable water system which extends across East Africa and which supports both our human and our wildlife populations. The recent flooding in Kenya, and in Nairobi specifically, and the tragic loss of lives and livelihoods that has resulted from the floods, has only gone to emphasize how important it is for us to protect these water catchment areas.

These forests will not protect themselves and Rhino Ark has been able to install and maintain high quality fencing with wildlife corridors around Kenya's primary mountain forests including the Aberdare Mountains, Mount Kenya, and Mount Eburu. This prevents human-wildlife conflict, logging, and other environmental degradation.

To date our team has raised over Ksh13 million (c.US$100,000) in support of Rhino Ark's projects.

ALL funds that you pledge go directly to Rhino Ark and our participation in the Rhino Charge is completely self-funded. As always, we will be trusting our faithful 1970 Land Cruiser (AKA 'Roxanne') to get us around the ever more challenging course in one piece !!

Many thanks for your support.
