Thank you for visiting my page.
On the 13th April 2014 I will be running in 2014 Virgin Money London Marathon.
This year, I have chosen to raise money for The Living Rainforest (Trust for Sustainable Living), as they currently need funds to build a new enclosure for their Goeldi monkeys.
The Living Rainforest has housed Goeldi's Monkeys for a number of years. In fact, the eldest is a female called Sooty who has just turned 21! With her mate, Sooty has given birth to a total of 9 sons, 5 of which have joined the European Endangered Species Program in order to help save these remarkable monkeys.
In order to make sure that these wonderful Goeldi's monkeys have a new, much larger enclosure, I am prepared to run 26 miles and 385 yards, passing through the streets of London from Blackheath to the famous finish line at The Mall.
You can sponsor me through this site and donations will be quickly processed and passed to The Living Rainforest (Trust for Sustainable Living).
I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.

PS. If you would like to have the opportunity to meet ‘Sooty’ and the other Goeldi's monkeys, the Living Rainforest is open almost every day of the year! The Living Rainforest strives to make learning about life fun. Visitors to the Living Rainforest can explore and discover its wonders... from free roaming lizards, birds and butterflies to the Goeldi monkeys, a crocodile, toucans, snakes and much more. See some of the world’s most popular food plants – bananas, coffee, cocoa, ginger, vanilla … - and plants that give us life-enhancing medicines, cosmetics and building materials.
