Running for Rhinos | Oliver Fordham

Get ready to cheer on Orchard's very own Oliver Fordham as he embarks on an extraordinary journey of running five half marathons and a full marathon over the span of six months! His inaugural run kicks off this Sunday, marking the beginning of his inspiring endeavor. Oliver's mission? To raise funds for the Southern Africa Wildlife College. Dive into Oliver's captivating story and discover what inspired him to tackle this remarkable challenge head-on.

Oliver’s Story:

Hello everyone! Over the next six months, I will be raising funds for the Southern Africa Wildlife College. I aim to raise funds to help train the next generation of wildlife rangers. I am calling this project “Running for Rhinos,” as the training provided will help protect rhinos from extinction.

I have been lucky enough to visit the Greater Kruger National Park on multiple occasions and have seen the devastation that poaching causes to the population of rhinos. I will also hopefully be putting together some interviews with both the fantastic people who run the college and, hopefully, the students and alumni of the college to help put a face to your donations. 

I will also bring some stories of the great conservation work and why it is so important to help protect wildlife. 

Now for the important part! How am I going to raise this money? I will be running five half marathons and a full marathon over six months. My first run is this Sunday, so please keep an eye on my social media to find out how I get on!

From all of us at Orchard good luck Oliver!
