Running London Marathon 2025 for Helping Rhinos is an achievement that not only meant the world to me, but meant I could contribute to the amazing work Helping Rhinos do. Helping Rhinos supported me along the whole journey and even now after the marathon. Nothing is more motivating then running for this charity fighting poaching of these beautiful gentle giants!
