Thank you for visiting :)  I am running the London Marathon to raise money for Paignton Zoo Environmental Park and the EAZA Ape Campaign.   

The EAZA Ape Campaign aims to raise money 1 Million Euro, to save our closest living relatives: gibbons, orang-utans, gorillas, chimps and bonobos.  Apes are in danger of extinction due to three main factors: 1) habitat loss; 2) illegal trade and increasingly, 3) disease problems. 

Money raised will fund 4 conservation programmes which will make meaningful contributions to saving all five apes (see: http://www.apecampaign.org/projects) and also enable the creation of a long-lasting foundation to support future conservation activities.

Despite completing a couple of long runs before, the London Marathon is both a daunting and exciting prospect.  I do hope you can support me and by so doing, also help us help ourselves....'we're all apes after all!'.
