In a world ruled by monkeys you would think that people are looking after the gorillas. But sad to say this is not the case. The duty falls to us to keep these beautiful, majestic and so very very big creatures from going the way of the dinosaurs, the dodo and my chances of ever being taken seriously after partaking in this event. But sacrifices must be made and if dressing up in a gorilla suit and running 7kms round the streets of London is what it takes then I am prepared to sacrifice my reputation as a normal human being (I understand this point is disputed). So all it takes from you my friends and loved ones (and people who I met on my travels, added to my email list and don't know me from a bar of soap!) is a little of your hard earned cash! I understand those of you who are sceptical of this cause being the most important charity to give your money too. However it has recently been proved that without gorillas swinging through the trees the world will topple on it's axis and the new equator would run though the north and south poles with the obviously devatating effect of making obsolete all atlases.
Still not convinced then think of it this way, If all the gorillas died from poaching and habitat destruction in the next couple of years then the leader of the apparent free western world (that complete Muppet, Bush) would then be the dummest primate on the planet.
Marty Clarkson is also joining me on this little escapade (he actually saw it first so kudos and good Karma to him.) and he will cry a little gorilla tear if we don't hit the mark. Anything you can spare no matter how small is a big help.
Thankyou in advance for clicking on the sponsor me now button! Please remember that gorillas are not fussy so if you want to email this to all your friends (I am happy if you deny knowing me) they will be happy to take their money as well!
Cheers all
