About me My story

www.greatgorillas.org

I'm involved in various charitable activities but I will use my 'hour' to promote the Gorilla Organisation - formerly known as the Dian Fossey Memorial Fund - which is holding its 'Great Gorilla Run 2009' on Saturday 26 September 2009 when 700 Gorilla's will be running (or in my case walking!) round the streets of the City of London to raise funds to support the 700 remaining Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda / Uganda.

Sponsor me at: http://bit.ly/MWPayne (thank you so much!)

Update 13 October 2009: Since standing in the Plinth, I have completed my Gorilla Run (7km, dressed in a gorilla suit, in 1 hour and 1 minute!) and raised in excess of £1,000 for the Gorilla Organisation and in excess of £900 for The Prince's Trust and Action for Children.

  • Hello Martin

    I've just watched your hour through over morning coffee and breakfast...

    Nice one.

    Nice to have met you on the last day....the three of us being that last to leave.

    Did we forget to turn the lights out?
