Story

<p>OK so this is my first effort at raising some dough for charity, so I'm starting small with only a &pound;100 target, If I make more fantastic so donate as much or as little as you wish..</p> <p>Right so the plan is I move to Rome on the 8th of July and during my time there I thought I will try and raise money for Charity. I have chosen the Gorilla Organisation because&nbsp;anyone who knows me will know I have more empathy for animals than&nbsp;I do mankind. I will be doing a run from the Vatican City to the Colosseum and from there to the Spanish Steps ultimately with a sprint&nbsp;finish back to&nbsp;St Peters Square, which I've nicknamed the 'Roman Triangle'. It is a 10k run and I&nbsp;will&nbsp;doing so&nbsp;dressed as a Gorilla, worth the &pound;100 target to see that surely?</p> <p>Anyway..Please Help save these amazing&nbsp;primates from poachers and help stop their vastly decreasing populations...</p> <p>You can visit the Gorilla Organisation at <a href="http://www.gorillas.org">www.gorillas.org</a> and Sponsor me here at <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/RomanTriangle">www.justgiving.com/RomanTriangle</a>&nbsp;Spread the word and lets save this animal for our next generation of animal lovers!</p>
