Story

27 September 2008 marked our fifth year to run through London dressed in full-body gorilla suits, raising funds for this critically endangered species. You can spot our orange & green T-shirts this year on several pictures on FlickR (http://www.flickr.com/photos/vibrantpictures/2892252979) as well as the BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7639535.stm).

Thanks to many generous friends, colleagues and clients, our team has raised over 5000 pounds over the years (see e.g. www.justgiving.com/ozaru2007) but that's still just a drop in the ocean. Please do sponsor us next year (see www.justgiving.com/ozaru2009) -- better still, why not join us?

You can see where the money goes by visiting www.gorillas.org - many people are surprised to learn that much is used for sustainable development of local human communities too.
