Our Education Officer, Tracy, recently walked around the circumference of the Isle of Wight to raise money for the tiger conservation work we have chosen to support to help conserve wild tigers.
From the 1st of June to the 4th of June, Tracy and her daugter Jenny did he sponsered walk to raise money for the Global Tiger patrol of which the Isle of Wight Zoo supports and this year the zoo has pledged signifcantly more funds to help the organization expand their work so the extra fund raising is certainly needed. Luckily, with the dedication of people like Tracy and Jenny we are hoping to reach that target.
Below are photos of Tracy and Jenny as they pass by some of the coastal landmarks they came across on their journey:

For the last half mile of the journey Tracy and Jenny were joined by the Unidos Samba band, of which Tracy is a part of and were able to come up to the finish line with the beat of the drums in full support:
