Story
We are running 230km across Kenya over five days for ForRangers and Save the Rhino International because the rangers need our help to protect rhinos.
Needless to say, this is going to be a huge physical challenge that will test us to our limits. Training is going to be intense and the race itself even more so. It's a completely self-supported race and so we'll be carrying food, sleeping bags and clothing through 5 days of marathon plus runs. Tough!
We wouldn't be doing this if there wasn't a good cause at the other end. And sadly, the data is just terrifying on Rangers & the threat they face from Poachers. Over the last 10 years alone, over 1000 have been killed in the line of Duty. They're doing critical work for anti-poaching and yet are often under-funded / lacking basic kit. Any donations make a huge difference:
What could your fundraising support?
£17 | $20 pays for a life-saving first aid kit.
£35 | $43 covers life insurance for one ranger for a full year.
£38 | $46 buys a portable stove so rangers can cook a hot meal in the bush.
£82 | $100 will buy a smartphone so rangers can communicate and capture data in the field.
£180 | $218 could provide a three-person tent to provide cover from the elements during the night.
£3,200 | $3,800 could provide a new patrol camp to give rangers safe locations to rest.
£14,000 | $17,000 pays for a new ranger security base to improve their reach and response times.
£16,500 | $20,000 pays for a fully equipped canteen so rangers can eat nutritious meals together
