A massive thank you for your donations

Well that's it - the fundraising is over.  Thank you very very much to everyone that supported my fundraising efforts - either with donations, time, materials, fitness classes, buying goods....whatever your contribution, it meant a lot and has helped me raise a total of.... (drum roll please).....

£6,486


This money will help African Parks continue the great work they have done to date in protecting Africa's wildlife and ensuring the future survival of these beautiful creatures.

In the year that I have been fundraising African Parks has:
  • Increased the number of Parks under their management to 13.  They are still on track to manage 20 Parks by 2020;
  • Returned Rhinos to Rwanda after a ten year absence;
  • Moved 500 Elephants to a new home in Malawi;
  • Returned Cheeta's to Malawi after a 20 year absence;
  • Seen an expanded conservation area come under their management in Chad, following a new agreement with the government.  This includes the management of a world heritage site;
  • Assumed Management of their first marine reserve, in Mozambique;
  • Appointed Price Harry as President of African Parks;
And having just been named by Fast Company as one of the ten most innovative companies in Africa - their success can surely only continue.

From me, everyone at African Parks and from animals across the world - thank you very much!!
