500km in 5 days cycling in Southern India

Story

As a volunteer at the rescue centre for the past six months, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible work that goes into saving and rehabilitating wildlife. With over 350 volunteers, a dedicated vet team, and fantastic admin staff, this centre is truly remarkable. However, we need your help to continue our mission. Our goal is to raise funds for the building of a dedicated rescue centre in Surrey to ensure that we can continue to provide care and support for wildlife in need.

Unfortunately, our founder and beloved face of the TV series Wildlife SOS, Simon Cowell, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of lung cancer that is terminal. Simon has devoted his life to saving wild animals that couldn’t help themselves. Hundreds of thousands have been given a second chance thanks to his compassion and dedication. Now, as his last wish, he is asking for YOUR help to continue his legacy and protect the lives of generations of wildlife to come.

To honor Simon's legacy and fulfill his last wish, I am participating in a personal cycling event - 500km in 5 days cycling in Southern India - as part of the 'Simon's Last Wish' campaign. Our target amount is £1,000 GBP which will go towards building the new rescue centre.

Please join me in supporting this cause by making a donation today. Your contribution will make a significant impact on our ability to continue providing care for wildlife in need.
