Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
So what am i going to do and for what reason? A few weeks back i came across some horrendous video images, that i could not get out of my mind, images of moon bears being tortured, for their bile.. oh! yes make no mistake this bile is magic, it actually works, but then i discover that there are 54 herbs and a few synthetic options available that are cheaper and just as effective...so now i am angry!!
Why use bear bile at all, culture, tradition, for that we would have to ask those that use it, traditional Chinese medicine always seeks to be in harmony with nature, this is barbaric, has no place in modern Chinese medicine,and is totallyin discord with nature, but its a $1,000,000 per year industry.
The truth is that this industry is kept alive by those that use the medicines and bear parts, it is illegal to export bile out of China, but over 90% of bile found in the U.S.A. comes from China, in Canada it is well over 70%
Education is very important, to save these beautiful animals from a life of pain and suffering, so that brings me to the what?
I have decided to do what i can to raise funds for the Animals Asia Foundation, and too this end will assend mount Snowdon in Wales, on June the 6th, also a few other things, one being a house party on April 25th.
There is also a chance to trek Vietnam later this year,
So please sponsor me now!
All online payements go direct to Animals Asia. If you are a United Kingdom tax payer, an extra sum of money will be given from the Government (see the tax bonus below)
Thank a million for your sponsorship
Great big bear hugs
Lets go build , and maintain a bear sanctuary
Well that day has come and gone, and you know with a lot of help and encouragement I managed to get to the top, so I need your contributions as much as possible, to reach my target of £200+ for this challenge, still wish to raise a further £100+ by APRIL 2010...
So many thanks to all those that have sponsered offline..
