We're all aware of the devastation the wildfires have caused across Australia. I'm so proud to see so many people banding together to help support the relief and recovery efforts.

With estimates of more than 500 million animals perishing in the fires, the potential loss of entire Australian species and the enormity of destruction these fires have had on our wildlife, it's clear that we have a long road to recovery ahead of us - and we all need to do a little (or lot!) to help. 

To that end, I will be running in the Buffalo Stampede's 42km SkyMarathon on Sunday 5 April with the goal of raising $10,000 for Wildlife Victoria's Bushfire Appeal.*  The Buffalo Stampede from 3 April to 5 April is part of the internationally prestigious Skyrunning brand that attracts top athletes (not me!!) to the top of the world, "where earth and sky meet". The Stampede Marathon starts and finishes in Bright and covers 42km and 1500 feet of ascents and descents.

Please support me to achieve my goal so we can help contribute to getting our precious native animals back on the road to recovery so they can be enjoyed by future generations.

Donations made to Wildlife Victoria's Bushfire Appeal will be distributed to wildlife shelters and carers to help rebuild enclosures and equipment that they have lost in the fires so that they can continue their lifesaving work, and support those that are struggling to cope with the enormous number of animals that will need care in the coming weeks and months.means so much to me.

* Note that if we can raise more than $20,000, I will run the 75km Ultra SkyMarathon so please give generously!
