Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Virgin London Marathon 2013 · 21 April 2013 ·

At Plantlife, our aim is to make lasting positive change for wildflowers, plants and fungi. Our goal is to help mitigate the impact of climate change while rebuilding biodiversity within our ecosystems. We regularly join forces with others to ensure our money, influence and impact can go further.

Story

As stated above, I did agree to this after a few beers. However, the work Plantlife does is important, therefore we are raising money for a good cause.

Retaining a broad range of wild plants is important for maintaining a stable food chain. One example of this would be the precarious position the honeybee is facing. When a hive feeds off of a monoculture, such as the fields of oilseed rape that cover significant proportions of the countryside, their health declines, including their resistance to pathogens. This has been linked with the collapse of hives in the US used to pollinate standard crops.

The honeybees are just one example. It'd be great if you could donate a few pounds to the cause.

Cheers,

Ben
