Royal Parks Half Marathon 2008 · 12 October 2008 ·

We are Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples. We’re fighting for their survival around the world. We work in partnership with tribes and give them a platform to speak to the world. Tribal peoples need you. Let’s fight for their survival, together.

Story

Pretty self-explanatory ladies and gents....I am running the inaugural Royal Parks Half Marathon - total distance 13.1 miles - on 12 October and by doing so hope to raise as much as possible for the brilliant charity Survival International
http://www.survival-international.org

It is no secret that indigenous peoples all over the world - from Siberia to Sarawak, Canada to Kenya - are struggling to survive and in some cases are being driven to extinction, largely due to modern atrocities and outside threats.  The culture and way of life of many of these tribal people are hanging by a thread; please support Survival International in their efforts to protect them.

And why stop at sponsoring me - Bruce Parry of the BBC series "Tribe" has teamed up with some of the biggest names in music to create a fundraising album for Survival International.  Fantastic sounds for a fantastic cause, available on Amazon now:  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bruce-Parry-Presents-Amazon-Tribe/dp/B001EDG2GS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1222950943&sr=8-6

Many thanks for your generosity.

PS: Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Survival International 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.
