Reach for the moon in 100km , 13 May 2022
Right now Animals Asia is constructing its 2nd sanctuary in Vietnam that will save all the moon bears there and end the industry that was pushing them to the edge of extinction; bear bile farming. We just need your help to finish the job.

Story

I'm fundraising for Animals Asia who fight to end an awful practice known as bear bile farming across Asia. 

My challenge consists of 3 parts - to include running 50km with my 14 year old friend Daniel in moon bear month - August, + climbing Yorkshire 3 peaks (1600m), on 5 August followed by climbing Mount Snowdon (1085m) on 16 September - 105 km in total.

Animals Asia have begun construction on their new sanctuary in Vietnam which will house the remaining bears still being farmed for their bile. 

When the sanctuary is finished, bear bile farming in Vietnam will finally be a thing of the past. In 2017 Animals Asia signed an agreement with the Vietnamese government which was the result of decades of work on the ground in Vietnam, with Animals Asia's proven track record of success and constructive collaboration seeing them named as the governments official partner to end bear bile farming.They need your support now to ensure enough funds can be raised for the sanctuary to be built swiftly so that they can start rescuing bears from bile farms as soon as possible.

Please donate what you can to help make this dream a reality - and be a part of history as we make sure that no bear is left behind.
