Thanks for getting this far. Any amount you can give would be much appreciated, but bear in mind that if I don't reach my target the WWF will feed my tired bones to a ferocious panda.
All money raised will go towards the WWF's initiative to save the tiger. There are currently less than 3,200 tigers surviving in the world's forests and they face extinction by 2022. The WWF aims instead to double the population by then. Tigers are amazing, so this would be a good thing indeed.
Second only to this, the possibility that I could haul my lumbering carcass round a 13 mile course at any speed seems to fill most people with disbelief. I will do my damnedest to prove you wrong.
Thanks folks.
Dan
P.S. Please don't let the fact that my image is of a lion upset you. I am well aware of it.
