Midmar 2019

Andrew Ford is raising funds for Wildlands Conservation Trust

Dear Friends, Colleagues in February 2019 at the world’s largest Open Water swimming event, The Midmar Mile I will be swimming all 8 events as part of the 8-Mile Charity Initiative.

Every year, the 8-Mile Club year raises a significant amount (in 2018: R3.5 Million) for a variety of deserving charities. These charities are both small and large and include a diverse selection from conservation, sea rescue, to wildlife, to cancer and disabilities.

I will swimming in direct aid of Wildlands Conservation Trust

WILDLANDS CONSERVATION TRUST has networks in 60 communities across KwaZulu-Natal, Western, Northern & Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and Gauteng, transforming the lives of thousands of South Africans and improving their livelihoods through innovative sustainable programs. These programs enable small business development, food security, conservation, recycling and restoration efforts, and offer a variety of experiential learning opportunities that provide tangible ways to activate sustainability with a focus on education, training and ambassadorship.
