Story

"if you run, be proud. most sports require only one ball" 

After seeing sis run in the marathon last year I was inspired so here I am - this is without doubt the toughest challenge I have ever done, but with the help of my lanky legs and your support i just might make it!

I'm running for the Gorilla Organization (detailed information below) who are doing amazing work in protecting the natural habitat of these great creatures. Your donations will go towards supporting grass-roots projects in Africa such that the future of the gorillas is assured and future generations may yet get to these animals in the wild. Please give generously.

On behalf of the Gorilla Organisation, thank you!!!

If you are in London on 25 April 2010, then please come and cheer us all on!

So who are these Gorillas then??

The Gorilla Organization works internationally to save the world's last remaining gorillas in the wild, by funding small grass-roots projects, run by local African partners, that tackle the real threats to the gorillas' long term survival. 

Today, gorillas are threatened, not due to a demand for their meat or their infants, but due to a demand for the lush forest in which they live. For the poverty-stricken communities around the gorilla habitat, it is the gorilla forest that provides them with many of their fundamental human needs. But, sadly, the collection of basic resources such as water and firewood is destroying the gorilla habitat and, in turn, the gorillas.
