A plaintive cry for help

The lemurs are still staring – just as intently – at the meagre pieces of fruit in the base of their trellis, and our solitary grey friend’s tear-filled eyes and doleful expression are almost unbearable, so I have devised a plan to help them.

I am going to be attempting a charity fundraising cycle from London to Brighton… in a lemur suit.

The cycle will take place on Saturday 26 February 2011.

The cycle is over 50 miles long, traverses both urban and rural settings, and in February, is subject to weather for which lemurs are not well suited.

I would be very grateful if you could sponsor me to complete the cycle by donating to the PayPal link on the right-hand side of this blog.

You may wish to sponsor me per mile (perhaps with extra money if it is raining, snowing or below 4 degrees celsius!) or just to complete the cycle.

You will be rewarded with numerous photos of the spectacle and the knowledge that you are contributing to an extremely worthwhile cause.

Madagascar and all of its wonderful inhabitants need your help.

Thanks for your support.

Please do return to see how the lemurs are faring from time to time. I will be posting further details about the cycle shortly.
