Please support me as I run the London Marathon as part of Team Defender for Tusk!
Craig Pearson
My story
I will be running the London Marathon on 26th April 2026 to raise vital funds for Tusk.
Tusk is an incredible charity that works to fund exceptional conservation leaders across Africa. Tusk enables and empowers expert local conservationists who are best placed to direct the protection of Africa's wildlife.
Reasons to support Tusk:
- Tusk has secured over 50 million hectares of landscape for wildlife
- Over 2500 human-wildlife conflict incidences mitigated
- Over 34000 snares recovered, contributing to reduced threats to wildlife
If you are able to support me, your donation will go to supporting the planet's most astonishing wildlife and the vital communities that live alongside them.
THANK YOU!
