Our personal message:

Well, I did it!

Saturday turned out to be a hot day and I sweated more like a pig than an ape! But somehow I managed to complete the course.

Holly (8) and JoJo (3) were there with mum to cheer me on.  In the picture JoJo's giving me some last minute advice before the start.

So thanks to all who supported me and helped me raise so much money for our furry cousins. The run is in support of the Gorilla Organization that works to protect the endangered mountain gorilla in its natural habitat.  If you forgot to donate theres still time. 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Gorilla Organization gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks Again for your support
