Wild Tomorrow Fund, Inc

I am excited to announce my journey to run the Berlin Marathon on September 29, 2024 on behalf of the Wild Tomorrow Fund. My first ever experience with animal conservation stems from my childhood dream of being a zookeeper. Since then, I have been interested and involved in the subject through charitable organizations, volunteering at a rhino orphanage, and participating in conservation work throughout South Africa. I am inspired to run my first marathon for an organization that supports a cause I am deeply passionate about. Thanks in advance for your contribution, any amount is welcome!

The Wild Tomorrow Fund is dedicated to the protection of threatened and endangered species and the habitats they depend on for survival. Their vision is for a world in which wildlife habitats are expanded and protected, and where existing reserves have the resources needed to keep wildlife safe. The funds I am raising will help the Wild Tomorrow Fund to save and restore their wildlife corridor in South Africa, which will expand and reconnect wild space for elephants, rhinos, leopards, lions and other threatened species.

‍Help Me Conquer the Big Sur Marathon for Wildlife Conservation!

Hey there, amazing friends and nature enthusiasts!

Guess what? After three years of dreaming about it, the stars aligned, and I'm gearing up to tackle the 2024 Big Sur Marathon on April 28th – just two days after my birthday! Now, I've never run a marathon, but hey, it's time to stop dreaming and embrace the challenge.

Here's the twist – the marathon was sold out! But fear not, I found an awesome way to secure my spot and make a difference. I'm teaming up with Wild Tomorrow Fund, a nonprofit that's not just talking the talk but walking the walk. Co-founders John and Wendy left their successful careers in 2015 to dedicate their lives to restoring our planet. They're hands-on, passionate, and have the accolades to prove it – 2023 Platinum Transparency Candid Seal, Top-Rated Great Nonprofits. These guys are the real deal.

So, here's the details. I'm on a mission to raise $2500 for Wild Tomorrow Fund's incredible wildlife conservation work. Every dollar counts, and I'm aiming to hit 50% of that, $1250, by March 8th, just to secure my spot on the starting line!

Why Wild Tomorrow Fund, you ask? Well, it's personal. I've had a lifelong connection with nature and animals, and teaming up with Wild Tomorrow is my way of giving back. Their mission is clear: protect threatened species and their habitats. Elephants, rhinos, lions – they're all on the VIP list. I'm running not just for me but for a Wild Tomorrow.

"Training today for a Wild Tomorrow" is my mantra as I hit the pavement.

Here's where you come in – any donation, big or small, gets me closer to that finish line and supports the incredible work of Wild Tomorrow Fund. Let's make my birthday and this marathon about more than just running – let's make it about creating a wild tomorrow for generations to come.
