It has been awhile since I have been able to update.  After I recovered from running the marathon and raised just over three thousand dollars from friends, family and colleagues, I sent the money to the organizations that are on the front lines in Africa, combatting the poachers on a daily basis. Since then,  I have been getting a steady stream of updates from several places in Africa,  and the numbers are staggering. Since January 2012, two months before I ran the marathon, 430 rhinos have been poached in South Africa alone. It averages out to two every 24 hours on the continent, which surely means they will become extinct in our lifetime if we do not stop this senseless slaughter. If we can set ourselves an attainable  goal of preserving them for at least one generation, perhaps our children can take up the cause when they are old enough. The picture was drawn by my seven year old daughter.

In light of this critical situation, I am hosting a fundraising/awareness raising event in conjunction with Stephen Ham of the African Wildlife Foundation:

Cancer Cure- NOT

The recent surge in the price and demand for rhino horn is sadly due to a rumor that it cures cancer. It does not. All of the experts, Eastern and Western alike, will tell you that  rhino horn does not cure cancer. So how to reach people who are stockpiling it and believing  it will keep them or their loved ones alive?
Tell them about Ban Zhi Lian. The FDA did clinical trials and found that there was evidence that certain types of cancer were helped with this amazing herb.
