On Sunday the 25th of September I shall be running (along with a few hundred others) 7 kilometres around the City of London dreseed as a Gorilla. In a fez. And possibly a tutu (costume suggestions greatly appreciated).

And I'm not just doing this for kicks, either. It's to raise money for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund (they do good work!) who're dedicated to saving gorillas (presumably in the same way that missionaries save fallen women - I'm a little sketchy on the details but there's more info here: http://www.gorillas.org)

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. However, you should be aware that JustGiving do take 5% of the money you pledge through this site, so if you're going to see me some time around the 25th, or it'd be convenient to meet up, and you'd rather do that so that every penny goes into saving those delicious apes so that future generations can enjoy their juicy flesh, then e-mail me and we'll sort something out.

Anyway, please sponsor me now! Muchas gracias for your support, tom
