My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Hi one and all I'm going trekking!! I'm doing it for my son(?) Little Olly a rescued moon bear who now lives with the AAF at their Vietnamese sanctuary. He was destined to live in a metal cage with a tube into his bile duct for his entire life until Jill Robinson and the AAF interceeded and saved him and his 2 sisters. I support him, the AAF and all the bears rescued by them in China and Vietnam. Go see their website, they are brilliant people!

***Added 13th October from my last day in Vietnam - completed the trek!!! You will all be pleased to know it was bloody difficult and poss even dangerous. But and it is a big BUTl got to see my son Olly last Sunday at the Moon Bear Sanctuary - that was wonderful and tearful and brilliant and etc etc... The guys there, Jill of course, Tuyan, Leanne and everyone are fan-bloody-tastic and deserve all our support and therefore thank you thank you for sponsoring me....          Home in a day or so.....      Added Thursday 1st October: Oh my god! Off on Saturday! Been to see docs, dentists, chiropodist, hair dresser - like a bloody cub scout! Dib dob dab - Be Prepared!! Haha... Looks like I'm taking a whole medicine chest with me too! Start off Saturday 07:40 and some 28 hours later and with, I believe, planes, trains and automobiles, I'll be in Sapa in the Northern Vietnamese Highlands! 8/9 days trekking before the best day ever at the Moon Bear Sanctuary to meet my son, Olly.... Once again a huge thanks from the Moon Bears and I..... Will be posting onto my Facebook hopefully if want to see how getting on..... Earlier updates:-  ***Added Sunday 20th September; come on all my friends, for the Moon Bears and lovely little Olly, let's push through £5000!!! I would love to see a break through 100% on the target, please.... Think of my poor feet! The blisters! The hard skin! You know you want me to hurt but the Moon Bears to have more!! Haha.... Thanks to all of you so far! Thank you, thank you, thank you!  from little Olly my son and all the Moon Bears you are helping!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and I've got to get fit and slimmer - if anyone fancies a few long walks over the summer - up and down Box Hill or wherever, let me know, I'll come!

Many thanks to you all - Oliver
