The orangutan is one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom,
sharing 96.4% of our DNA. Indigenous people of Indonesia and Malaysia call this ape "Orang Hutan" which literally translates as "Person of the
Forest".

We exist on this planet for such a short time and it is our duty to
ensure we leave the planet in the best state possible for the next generation of animals and people.  It is our job to live alongside animals and not to take the planet over for ourselves.  By running the Oxford Half Marathon for the Sumatran Orangutan Society (“SOS”) I am hoping to raise much needed funds and awareness for this amazing charity and species.

Please sponsor me and I will do my best to run the best half marathon I
can.
