I'm digging deep for the land I love

My Activity Tracking

250
kms

My target 300 kms

30 days to do 300km and raise $3000 for Australian Wildlife Groundwork Challenge!

1 in 5 Australian mammals are on the endangered species list.

That’s why from 16 November until 16 December, I’m digging deep for the land I love.

Since moving to Australia in 2017, I've become increasingly aware of the effect we have on the planet and the environment. 

Last year I saw some of the worst devastations of this beautiful country when fires literally burned all summer long killing millions of helpless animals.

I've chosen Bush Heritage as they protect the land that these animals need to survive. On top of the bush fires, the land is also under attack from corporations that want to log forests and dig for coal/minerals/oil.

Bush Heritage protect by buying and managing land, partnering with Aboriginal people so we can protect irreplaceable land and native species.

On another note, since moving to Australia the pressure to feel good in a bikini 6 months of the year has encouraged me to step up my fitness game!!

Combining the desire to stay fit and healthy, raise awareness of our impact on nature and contribute to rebuilding what has been lost, I have decided to walk/run 300km over the course of 30 days in the hope to raise $3,000 for Bush Heritage Australia.

Any support you can give big or small will be hugely appreciated in helping rebuild our beautiful planet.

Please support me and help protect the land we all call home by making a tax deductible donation to Bush Heritage Australia.

Together, we can help restore the bush and protect our native species.

Help me raise funds to protect the bush and our precious native species.

A Starting point...

Thursday 29th Oct
Hi and welcome to my Groundwork fundraising page.

Since moving to Australia in 2017, I've become increasingly aware of the effect we have on the planet and the environment. 
Last year I saw some of the worst devastations of this beautiful country when fires literally burned all summer long killing millions of helpless animals.

I've chosen Bush Heritage as they protect the land that these animals need to survive. On top of the bush fires, the land is also under attack from corporations that want to log forests and dig for coal/minerals/oil.

Bush Heritage protect by buying and managing land, partnering with Aboriginal people so we can protect irreplaceable land and native species.

On another note, since moving to Australia the pressure to feel good in a bikini 6 months of the year has encouraged me to step up my fitness game!!

Combining the desire to stay fit and healthy, raise awareness of our impact on nature and contribute to rebuilding what has been lost, I have decided to walk/run 300km over the course of 30 days in the hope to raise $3,000 for Bush Heritage Australia.

Any support you can give big or small will be hugely appreciated in helping rebuild our beautiful planet.

Thank you so much!
