Rhiane Fatinikun, founder of Black Girls Hike, announced as the new ambassador for The Wildlife Trusts.
Fatinikun will champion the Big Wild Walk this October.
Creating their own adventure whether that’s by walking, running, cycling, wheeling, or swimming. The challenge is to walk 3km in a week, the same distance a hedgehog travels each night.
Raising money to help wildlife recover and contribute towards The Wildlife Trusts’ goal of protecting 30% of UK’s land and sea for nature by 2030.
The Big Wild Walk takes place during half term from Monday 16th to Monday 30th October 2023. Sign up at wildlifetrusts.org/bigwildwalk
Rhiane Fatinikun says: “I’m absolutely delighted to become an ambassador for The Wildlife Trusts as the Big Wild Walk gets underway. I started my journey into the great outdoors with no hiking experience so I’m keen to encourage everyone, no matter their ability or background, to take that first step. Signing up to the Big Wild Walk is a fantastic way to support nature and wild places whilst doing something you love. Or mix it up and turn it into a run, swim, or bike ride – the choice is yours! I hope lots of you join us this October to champion nature by having a wild adventure no matter how big or small.”
