Great Gorilla Run 2003 · 21 September 2003 ·

With just over 1000 mountain gorillas left in the world and 3 subspecies now critically endangered it is vital we do everything we can to save gorillas from extinction. We protect them from poachers, safeguard their forest home and improve livelihoods in local communities. Will you join us?

Story

Please sponsor me online.

It's the most efficient way for me to raise funds for my charity, The Diana Fossey Gorilla Fund. On September 21st I'm running 7 Km in a Gorilla suit. Believe me, it's hot in there, and I intend to run the whole distance. Don't ask what I'll be wearing underneath, 'cos it's not pretty. Why? I want to raise at least £500 to save the 650 Mountain Gorillas that are left from extinction. Remember Gorillas in the mist? That's who the smooth-skinned Sigourney Weaver played in the film. She gave her life in their defence. I'm hoping not to go quite that far, but it'll be a close call! If you are a UK taxpayer your donation will be increased by almost a third at no cost to you.

I really appreciate any donation Any amount will make a difference but please try to give generously!

Many thanks.
