Midmar 2017

Robert John Tout is raising funds for Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife

Dear prospective donors and friends, The 8 Mile Club, which has become an integral part of the annual aQuellé Midmar Mile, is a group of swimmers who will attempt to swim all 8 events over the race weekend, for charity. As part of this initiative I am going to be raising funds for Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and more specifically the ‘Save the Rhino Foundation’. The Save The Rhino Foundation’s mission statement is simple; they undertake vital work to protect all 5-rhino species in Africa and Asia. Through grants and donations this foundation funds a range of conservation activities and on-going field programs (e.g. training, equipping and effectively deploying field rangers and anti-poaching teams who go out daily to protect rhinos, sometimes facing dangerous situations). Protecting and managing a rhino population is a challenge that costs energy and money and for that reason the Save the Rhino Foundation needs our financial support. Did you know that the Southern White Rhino would not exist today if it were not for the work of a few determined people, who brought together the 200 or so surviving white rhinos for a managed breeding and re-introduction programme? With more contributions, this foundation can fund similar projects which aim to not only save rhino populations from extinction, but to increase their numbers, too. I humbly request that you consider partnering with me by sponsoring an amount of money toward my Midmar 8 Mile charity swim. I have committed to raising a minimum of R10,000 however I am convinced that, with your assistance, we can raise at least R40 000 (raised target) for the Save The Rhino Foundation. Kindly contact me at robtout10@gmail.com or on 078 327 0271 and I will forward you the charity pledge form. Any amount, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated.
