UPDATE:

Brenda, one of my Walking Buddies, very gallantly stepped in as my co-participant and moral support, when my original instigator and Gym Buddy, Fiaz' mother sadly and unexpectedly passed away just before the event. 

Brenda and I finished the Adidas Women's 5km (3 mile) Challenge, in just under an hour and we had loads of fun.

You can see some more photos here: Gwen & Brenda - Adidas Women's 5k Challenge - London, Hyde Park

Thank you so much to those of you that sponsored me, and for those that might have had a memory lapse, or can afford to give a little bit more, please don't hesitate to give to this worthy cause, as there is still time.   

I am supporting the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS) as my chosen charity and your generous donations will make it possible for their precious work to continue.

BOS is a charity which means a lot to me.  Without its existence, thousands of Orangutans in Borneo would not stand a chance of survival.  BOS supports reintroduction centres that help confiscate captive Orangutans (mostly orphaned babies), give ex-captives health care, and assists them in developing skills necessary for forest life.  After extensive care, the animals are released back into the forest to live as wild Orangutans. 

Your money is desperately needed to continue their work.  Please remember that every pound (dollar / rand / krone) counts so please give generously

                                      Extinction IS Forever 

Thanks for your help

Kindest regards 

Hugs & Kisses

Gwen
