Tom Simon is raising money for Elephant Family
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

BUPA London 10,000 2011 · 30 May 2011 ·

Massive habitat loss over the past 100 years has wiped out 50% of Asia's wild elephant population, along with the vital ecosystems they used to support. Elephant Family exists to save this iconic animal from extinction by securing vital habitat and reducing conflict with local communities.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. When my friend Dan started working for the Elephant Family and told me that the Asian elephant was under threat I was shocked. I had no idea that the population had shrunk by 90% over the last century. I remember when I visited Nepal and saw elephants in the wild. They are such lovely and intelligent animals and I wanted to do something to help. So I am doing the BUPA 10K to raise as much money as I can. An extra bonus is that helping the Asian elephant also helps tigers, which are my favourite animal and also endangered, because they share the same habitat.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
