Are you wild enough to run for Born Free?

We are increasingly receiving enquiries and donations from supporters wanting to raise funds for Born Free through running, which is fantastic and most appreciated by everyone at Born Free.

Great North Run 2004 - 26th September 2004

If you would like to join the Born Free 'Run Wild' team either as an own place holder or with a Born Free place, please call Sam on 01403 240 171 or email sam@bornfree.org.uk

Once again, thank you for your interest in supporting Born Free through running.

The much needed funds raised through running help finance our projects both abroad and at home; from the Elephant Transit Home (a baby elephant orphanage), rescued tigers in India to the endangered gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Flora London Marathon 2004

Celebrating his 50th birthday, Great Ape ambassador and all round favourite conservationist, Ian Redmond, completed the London Marathon for the first and only time on Sunday 18th April 2004 in a time of 4 hours 47 minutes.

"It exceeded all my expectations but was harder than I ever managed" said Ian seconds after arriving at Born Free's encampment at the end of Bird Cage Walk. The furthest I had run in training was 8 miles so the last 18 miles was uncharted territory".

In recognition of his achievement Born Free is keeping open Ian's Just Giving website to receive donations and gifts to help the apes so if you would like to reward Ian for completing the London Marathon 2004 (he was on his back unable to move with a spinal injury just two weeks before!) then please go to http://www.justgiving.com/redmond and if you are UK tax payer, simply hit 'Gift Aid' and we can recover more from the Government at no cost to you.
