Thanks for visiting our fundraising page for the Royal Parks Half Marathon!

So....we did it! By no means was it a walk in the park...(sorry) but we managed to run (nearly) all the way in two and a half hours and can honestly say that we thoroughly enjoyed it.

We stayed together for the whole 13.1 miles, cheering each other on and making it as fun as possible - it was a beautiful sunny day and it felt really special to be able to run on London's roads with no cars and see the city in a totally different light.

We did it all for the love of the Asian elephant - probably the most magnificent animal on the planet. As you know, if current trends continue, this highly endangered creature could be extinct in the wild in 50 years time. Thank you so much to everyone eho donated to us and believed we could do it! You have supported not only us but this very worthwhile cause.

If you still want to donate, it's not too late - you can donate to our page until January 2009. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: elephant family (the charity I officially work for and the charity that Al unofficially works for)  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.

It has meant a lot to us knowing that we have such great friends and family - we couldn't have done it without you.

Carly and Al
