Cool Earth
We are attempting this race in an effort to raise awareness and money for Cool Earth, a fantastic charity who have saved over 900,000 thousand acres of high risk rainforest. Rainforests are under huge threat from the logging industry. In the past 40 years over half of the world’s rainforests have been destroyed. These rainforests are incredible havens of bio diversity and have a vital role in fighting Global Warming. Cool Earth take a novel approach to saving the planet by working in high risk forests and empowering local communities to create sustainable and long term solutions. They believe that a strong, thriving community is the best custodian of the rainforest.

Our target of £1000 will allow for a whole community to be developed and made resilient against the threat of logging.
