Story

My name is Jimmy and I am 6 years old. Chester Zoo is my favourite place and I was sad when Mummy told me they needed lots of money to stay open and keep the animals happy and healthy. 

I am going to run 1 mile a day with my Daddy so by the end of June I will have run a marathon!

Not being able to open, despite being a huge outdoor site with all the necessary safety measures in place, is having a devastating impact on our much-loved zoo. We’re heading towards debt in excess of £24m by the end of 2020 – this will financially cripple us. We need to raise £1.6m each month to keep going.

Please could you help me by sponsoring me. 

Love Jimmy xx
