I will be climbing 3 of the Top 10 tallest peaks in Africa (#1, #2 and #9) as well as running a marathon at an altitude of 1,700m, all back-to-back in only 19 days.
That is about 220km on foot and 50,000ft in vertical altitude achieved. There will be only one travel day and one rest day set within the 19 in which these 4 courses will be completed.
Please note that I am not looking for any "sponsorship", this is a once in a lifetime opportunity which I am grateful to be fully funding myself. But if it can help raise even a little money or extra appreciation for the desperate plight of the continent's greatest animals then it would make it even more worthwhile for me and the lands I will be passing through.
Please take a moment to consider that during my visit (less than 3 weeks) nearly 2,000 elephant and rhino will be killed! The current onslaught is staggering.
If you feel able to support the difficult daily battle to save the rhino and elephant from extinction then please do contribute to Tusk and the incredible work that they do throughout Africa and the world. I will match each and every one of your contributions up to the first $1,500 and so your generosity has an opportunity to do double the good work! Please do consider giving generously now!
