Story

Hello- it's me again :p

This time, having done my bit for boobs, I am moving on to orangutans- a totally normal progression.

I have chosen BOS for a few reasons. Firstly, of course, it's a very worthy cause- something sinister and irreversible is happening and we need to act fast if we want to stop it; secondly I can't watch orangutan diaries without crying and it's getting rather annoying- I'd like it to be all about happy animals in the wild so I could stop behaving like a leaking tap; and finally, because I- and I don't think I'm alone here- have always wanted to be Michaela Strachan and this seems like something she would do.

As it states on the BOS site: 'The Orangutan is on the verge of extinction. As part of a complex ecosystem of which the species forms an integral part, we cannot let the Orangutan become extinct in the wild. Its habitat is being destroyed by a global demand for wood and palm oil'. On top of that there's forest fires and the trade in baby orangutans as pets. It seems like the world is against them.

By donating to my page, you are giving this endangered species a helping hand in the survival game.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you :D
