I will be competing in this year's Flora London Marathon in a full rhino suit - which apparently weighs around 20kg - depending on how wet it gets on the day.

The idea is to raise money for a rather apt charity, Save the Rhino International. I decided on the Save the Rhino not only because it is my nick name, but also due to a belief that I have in conservation. For more info on Save the Rhino International please go to www.savetherhino.com

I will be funding my full fare and accommodation in London, every cent that I raise will go directly to Save the Rhino International.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Save the Rhino International will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now! Rhino aka Brian Thomas
