On Saturday 29th August 2020, endurance athlete Jamie Marais embarked on a super-human challenge where he cycled a vertical ascent of 9,000 metres within the Kariega Game Reserve in just 36 hours! Watch his incredibly challenging but extremely impressive journey in the video below:

The money raised by Jamie has been directly donated to the Kariega Foundation where it will benefit the Rhino Anti-Poaching Unit, as well as the Community Food Relief Programme both of which have been severely impacted by COVID-19. 

There is still time to help fund the protection of rhinos and feed those in need by visiting:

A huge congratulations and well done to Jamie!
