On 21 September, whilst more than 100 ranger teams are all running a 21 km half marathon in their wildlife reserves, their supporters will be walking/running for 5 or 10 km.
World Ranger Challenge, a TUSK Trust initiative, Royal patron, Prince William, and their main sponsor, Scheinberg Relief Fund, have already committed many millions to African rangers. In return, all beneficiary projects are being asked to further raise some funds, which will be matched by Scheinberg Fund. Hence, my walk.
At 80 years of age, I won’t have walked 4 km for quite some while, so it will be an effort to do so. But it’s for the rangers and must be done! In return, please can I ask all our 350 members to sponsor me for a modest $30 or so, or more if you wish, please? I’ve set a reasonably high target of $15,000 and look forward to your support please. Rangers walk about 20 km per day for a monthly pay of $300.
This is the least we can all do for the men at the coalface of rhino conservation, the 55 dedicated rangers of Save Valley Conservancy. And remember, everything you give will be matched, and thus DOUBLED, so please dig deep.
Also, I would be very grateful for you to share the link to this CrowdRaiser page to your friends and family. The more people who can help the better!
Thank you, Nicholas
