My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Please help me save the remaining 700 mountain gorillas and support the communities who rely on them through sponsoring me to run through London in a gorilla suit as part of the Great Gorilla Run. By taking part, I am hoping to help build a brighter future for the world's most endangered gorillas and the people of Rwanda. It also marks the finale of my 25 for 25 personal challenge as I couldn't run 7m when I signed up for this run, never mind 7km!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Hope to see you laughing at me in my costume on the day!
