Story

<p>Well, here I am, in blue in the middle there. Still standing after running the Bangkok half marathon.</p> <p>So I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna run a full marathon. For the first time ever in my 40 years on this planet. And I'm going to do it so I can raise money for EIA's tiger investigations. I'm going to run so we can still hear the tiger's ROAR.</p> <p>Every penny makes a difference to what EIA can do to expose the truth behind those who profit from illegal trade in the skin and bones of tigers and other Asian big cats. Being able to put together a team of the best investigators and send them into the murky world of wildlife crime is step 1. Delivering the hard hitting evidence to the world's decision makers and demanding change is step 2.</p> <p>I can guarantee that the funds pledged through this page will go towards EIA's tiger investigations and campaigns.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
