FUN-RUNNER Richard Gibson will be swapping his work suit for a gorilla suit when he takes part in a charity run through the streets of London.
Mr Gibson, of Queens Walk, Ealing, will join more than 650 runners dressed as gorillas to take part in a 7km run to raise money for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, the international charity that works to protect the world’s last 650 mountain gorillas. Mr Gibson is trying to raise more than £500 and hopes local people and businesses will sponsor him. He said: "This is a huge thing for me as I have never done any physical exercise before this and not many people know about this worthy charity." The run takes place next Sunday around the City of London.
To sponsor Mr Gibson call 0870 241 0643. Quote Richard Gibson - Runner number 228 when making your donation or visit www.justgiving.com/dianfossey to donate on-line.
