I am running the Run London Nike 10k on the 8th October and I have chosen to try and raise money for Orangutans.

Due to the Western world's desire for Palm Oil the natural habitat of the Orangutan's in Indonesia is being destroyed and their numbers are down 80% on what they were just twenty years ago.

The Orangutan Foundation supports conservation work in Indonesia and Malaysia to try and protect their natural habitat.

If you would like to learn more about the Orangutans then watch BBC2 on Sun 3rd Sept - Equator and you will see just how humanlike they are.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. My target time is 55 mins and if I fail to break 1 hour than I will match everyone else's donations !

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Orangutan Foundation 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
