Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

As you know I am a bit of a political animal, a bit bananas and you also will be aware that President Bush is soon no longer to be the US President. I think there is a unique opportunity to mark these facts and also that one of the biggest banana skins in his political career has been the abuse of human rights with Guantanamo and other secret prisons. Thus I am planning in taking part in the London Gorilla race as "George the Guantanamo Guerilla" to point out just how much a monkey George has made of all of this.

 
So if you can picture 1000 people running through the streets of London in Gorilla outfits with one of them wearing a George Bush mask and an orange jump suit, you will get the idea!
This is what the Gorilla outfits without the de rigeur jump suits look like and   the jump suit without the derigeur Gorilla suit looks like (yep, I am the unofficial London marathon record holder for doing the marathon in an orange jump suit).
  
Some may say I am being frivolous & just monkeying around, I would say I am being very serious, and it is only President Bush who is failing to take this issue seriously, and maybe given that Bush has re-introduced the medieval practice of 'water-boarding' it sometimes takes a Jester to tell the 'leader of the free World' some harsh truths.
You may ask why is George raising money for Gorilla rights rather than some money for a human rights organisation, ......simple... George is well known for being a bit thick! 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Gorilla Organization will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support. I would like to apologize to any gorillas who are offended by this page.
