My story

In April 2026, I’ll be lacing up my running shoes and joining thousands of others on the streets of London to take on one of the world’s most iconic races—the London Marathon. But this isn’t just about the miles or the medal. I’m running to raise awareness and vital funds for Tusk, a charity that’s close to my heart.


Tusk is a dynamic organisation that supports innovative conservation efforts across Africa. Their work protects endangered species, preserves critical habitats, and empowers local communities to thrive alongside wildlife. In a world where biodiversity is under threat, their mission has never been more urgent.


Training for a marathon is no small feat—it’s a journey of discipline, resilience, and purpose. Every early morning run, every blister, and every aching muscle is a step toward making a real difference. I believe in the power of collective action, and I’m inviting you to be part of this journey with me.


Together, we can help Tusk continue their incredible work and ensure a future where people and wildlife can coexist in harmony. Join us in supporting this vital cause. Every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement brings us closer to a world where wildlife and people can thrive together.


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 our wildlife and the vital communities that live alongside them.


THANK YOU!
