    Sharks have lived in our oceans for over 400 million years.
    But, today, many species are under threat. Almost 1/4 of all shark species worldwide are now threatened with extinction. That makes them one of the most endangered groups of animals on our planet!
    That's why i'm helping the Shark Trust to safeguard their future with this fundraiser.
    Together we can create positive change.
