Rhino Maniacs
In September 2010 the Rhino Maniacs will be climbing the world's highest free-standing mountain... Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
The Rhino Maniacs are a group of Chester Zoo employees, who have come together in their own time to take on this challenge. Why? To help raise awareness and funds for Eastern Black Rhino conservation... and because maybe they are all just a little bit mad!
The Team:
Sarah Bazley, Dave Brunger, Nick Davis, Michelle Duma, Mark Fallon, Andrea Fidgett, Kim Halliday, Meg Pugh & Julie Thompson.
