7K for the Gorillas!!!!!!!

Kathryn Schmitt is raising money for The Gorilla Organization
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

gorilla · 16 July 2005

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

On September 25th I will be running 7 kilometres through the City of London dressed as a gorilla. I'll be one of 750 people doing the same thing, one for every mountain gorilla alive today. The money we raise will go to support the work of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. Please take a few minutes to learn about the work they do (it benefits not just the gorillas, but their human neighbours as well), and if you agree with me that it is a worthy cause then please sponsor me.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund 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!

Many thanks for your support

P.S. if you're in London and would like to come cheer us on then this map will help: http://tinyurl.com/dxptj The run starts at 10:30 and I am runner number 180. I will have a pink ribbon on my head (Thanks Ruby!).
