Story

Team Lion:

There are just 20,000 lions left in the wild!! 90% lost in just 55 years. There is a real and imminent threat they could disappear from much of their current range in the wild. Will we be the generation that allows the King of the Animals to fade away? NOT ON OUR WATCH! There is hope. Born Free is on the frontline fighting for their survival. But we must do more. So, I am doing my bit to support. I will be walking 20,000 steps on a single day, between 01st and 31st August, one step for each of the lions left in their natural habitat. Will you join my pride and sponsor me?

Team Elephant:

Elephants are essential caretakers of our planet's delicate balance, yet they face significant challenges. Persecuted, trafficked and brutally killed in the wild and held captive in zoos worldwide.

I will be taking on the family-friendly 3-mile Ellie Amble, the challenging 10-mile Tusker Hike, an endurance 15 mile Trunk Trek in solidarity with captive elephants and in celebration of free
