RANGER TRUST FOUNDATION
It was through the birth of her eldest son Oliver, born very prematurely, that Lance Ranger had his first encounter with a physical disability in his own family. Her positive experiences with Oliver lead Lance to want to help other children with disabilities. After helping to raise awareness for the sponsorship and funding of several projects in the UK and Mauritius, Lance created the Ranger Foundation Trust (RFT) in April 2008.
The RFT aims to assist children with physical disabilities in Mauritius by providing national education programs and assistance. Since the creation of the RFT, Lance has continued to raise awareness for the project by embarking on sponsored hikes to the South Pole (2007), North Pole (2009), the Finnmarksloepet dog sled 500 km race (2011) and an attempt to crossing of Greenland in 2013 (he had to turn back after having been confronted with two hurricanes)
