Hello! In 2026, I ran the London Marathon with my sister, Amy and this year I'm coming back for more! I somehow managed to get a ballot space for the Saturday, but I won't be taking the easy route. To me, the London Marathon is all about fancy dress and fundraising. Last year, I raised money for Age UK dressed as Super Women. This year, I will be running in a 10kg Rhino Suit for Save the Rhinos! 

Right now, three of the five rhino species face extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Poaching, habitat loss and the climate crisis are pushing them closer to the edge, and that's not something I'm willing to stand by and watch.

Save the Rhino International is working towards a future where all five rhino species thrive. By sponsoring me, you're directly helping to:

• Provide kit, training and support for anti-poaching and rhino monitoring teams
• Empower the people living alongside rhinos to become the next generation of wildlife conservationists
• Disrupt the criminal networks behind the illegal rhino horn trade

Even a small donation makes a real difference. £5 can help fund a ranger's daily equipment. £30 can support a full day of rhino monitoring. Every pound helps keep rangers equipped and rhinos protected in the wild.

This will be the biggest challenge I have ever faced and the training starts now! Thank you for backing me and backing rhinos!
