Charity begging post with disclaimer

[frightened]

So on Sunday 26th September, I'll be doing the Great Gorilla Run. This is a 7km run through London wearing gorilla suits. (Yes, I will at some point upload a photo of me in my gorilla suit. How will you know it's me? My gorilla suit will have PIERCINGS, dammit.)

This is to raise money for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, to help save the remaining 720 mountain gorillas. I haven't seen the film, but I've read the original Gorillas in the Mist book, and they really do need saving.

So if you could possibly sponsor me here, that would be awesome and I'd be really grateful. So far I've got £285 of my £400 target.

Disclaimer: I don't want anybody to feel uncomfortable about not wanting or not being able to sponsor me. That's cool, too. I don't plan to do this very often.

Awesome idea. Have put a little something towards the total. I've seen the film, had me in a blubbering mess. Not sure if I can read the book, given I know the outcome...

i realise the expected audience is people who are also in the UK, but i do think it's funny that the donation confirmation email suggests i might like to register to run too. yes, i will spend $2000 to fly across the world so that i can raise £400!

anyway, i think it's brilliant you're doing this.
