Story

...to make things more interesting this year, along with shaving half my head to represent the continuing deforestation of precious rainforest around the world I will be attempting to dribble a football the whole way round and just for some extra incentive I will be aiming to break the world record for that very feat which stands at 5h36m.

I'm running once more for the great www.rainforestconcern.org  ...who have projects all over the world working to save and protect ancient forests, their wildlife, and their indigenous people.

Interesting Forest Facts:

-One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second

-Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation

Check out www.rainforestconcern.org to learn more about the current conservation projects and the approach they take. 

I'm very gratefull for any donations but the great old rainforests of the world are far more gratefull....and if you've got nothing better to do please do come and support on the day i will certainly need it and I'm sure all the other runners will too :)
