Valencia Half Marathon · 27 October 2019

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

Since 2013, I have undertaken multiple activities to raise funds for Gorilla conservation.

These include participating in the great gorilla run, the Manchester 10km and even climbing the 3 highest mountains in the UK in full gorilla suit. 

I have been fortunate enough to visit Gorillas in the wild in both Uganda and Rwanda and it is a truly life-affirming experience. 

Valencia is home to a family of gorillas at the Bioparc and so presented the perfect opportunity to raise awareness and funds for the amazing work the Gorilla Organization undertakes on a daily basis. 

Gorillas are among our closest living relatives yet they risk being lost forever.
