The Trek from Siena to Rome · 23 November 2008

Orangutan Appeal UK is a registered charity dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and reintroduction of orphaned, injured and displaced orangutans. We strive to protect remaining populations of wild orangutans and their habitat by raising awareness and providing funding for projects across Borneo.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Between 9th and 26th July 2009, I will be trekking across Italy from Siena to Rome,  climbing mountains and volcanoes en route.  I am hoping to use this extraordinary experience before I go off to Veterinary College to raise money for the work of Orangutan Appeal UK.  During my visit to Borneo in 2006, I became aware of the plight of orangutans, which are seriously endangered because of pressure on their habitat arising from the international demand for palm oil.  The rehabilitation centre at Sepilok, which I was fortunate enough to see, is doing all it can to fight for these rare and intelligent creatures. I am really grateful for any support you can give!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Orangutan Appeal UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
