#TwoPointSixChallenge

Elephants for Africa is taking part in the 2.6 challenge….

…..and we would love you to get on board. The 26th of April would have been the London Marathon, an event that raises millions of pounds for good causes every year. While we do not expect you to run a marathon, we ask you to join us and come up with an activity based around the numbers of 2.6 or 26 to raise money for Elephants for Africa. The added dimension is that many around the world are restricted to where we can go… we get that so are we.. so we have to be even more inventive with our challenge ideas.

The team in camp will be trying to count 26 hippos in the pool in front of camp on the 26th April. Sounds easy? Try playing Whack-a-rat. Many other challenges are planned for the following days, including our Founder’s children who have pledged to run 26 times around their garden dressed as super hero’s (it’s quite big and they are quite small) …. We will keep you posted on our endeavours through our social media channels and please do share yours.
