What a day! What a HOT day!!

Managed to get around in 2 hours and 43 minutes. Not bad for a polar bear. The spectators seemed to find my outfit quite amusing.

Recovering well today, although my knees are a bit sore.

Thank you so, so much for all your support. I personally really appreciate it and I want to thank you on behalf of Greenpeace for coming together in a bid to protect the arctic and raise the awareness needed to release the Arctic 30.

Thanks again. We got there together!

This Year, I'm running the Cardiff Half Marathon to help raise awareness for Greenpeace and their Save the Arctic campaign. For added effect I'm also going to run it in a Polar Bear Costume!

It'll be tough and I'll look like an idiot, but hopefully it'll get noticed. Greenpeace cannot continue to fight these battles without our help. Please donate to support their work protecting the planet. Thank you.

The melting Arctic is under threat from oil drilling, industrial fishing and conflict. You can Save The Arctic.

In the last 30 years, we’ve lost as much as three-quarters of the floating sea ice cover at the top of the world. The volume of that sea ice measured by satellites in the summer, when it reaches its smallest, has shrunk so fast that scientists say it’s now in a ‘death spiral’.

For over 800,000 years, ice has been a permanent feature of the Arctic ocean. It’s melting because of our use of dirty fossil fuel energy, and in the near future it could be ice free for the first time since humans walked the Earth. This would be not only devastating for the people, polar bears, narwhals, walruses and other species that live there - but for the rest of us too.

The ice at the top of the world reflects much of the sun’s heat back into space and keeps our whole planet cool, stabilising the weather systems that we depend on to grow our food. Protecting the ice means protecting us all. And protecting the future of the plant for our kids. It's our responsibility to stand up and do something about this. We need to be the generation that reverses the situation.
