I have been supporting Survival International for over 20 years. In fact my first job after school was working for Survival, and I went on many trips to visit tribal peoples including Peru, Guyana and Namibia.

Most recently I have been advising them in their successful campaign against De Beers and the Botswana government in support of the Bushmen who were evicted from their lands in the Kalahari to make way for diamond mining - which has resulted in the Bushmen winning the right to return to their lands.

I am now getting on my sparkly new bike and doing a sponsored bike ride from home in Ampthill, Bedfordshire to Cowley Manor in Gloucestershire on Sunday 19 August 2007 in aid of Survival (just under 100 miles and then I can relax at super spa Cowley Manor!).

It is now over 10 years since I have raised any money for Survival so please dig deep and sponsor me!
