Okay Guys

I've waited for the last moment here, but I'm dusting off the old tennie's, I'm dragging myself out to Van Nuys at 6:30 AM this Sunday morning - October 16th  -  and I'm going to run 5k for the "tangs"  - I do not run very well (but they say walking counts too)  

In my life I've never asked people to do this- but if you have 10, 20, 40 dollars - whatever you can spare, helping save the Borneo rainforests and the last wild orangutans on earth is very important to me.   Actually, what we are really doing is supporting the indefatigable Dr. Birute Galdikas, who has dedicated her life to both living and working in the Borneo jungle, setting up camps, animal rehab centers, moving villages, battling bureaucrats, and studying these magestic great apes.  She employs Inodnesians and building up the surrounding communities, getting locals more aware of conservation and the true gift of their delicate ecosystem.  She is a remarkable woman and her life's work is something worthy of support.  

Very few people I have met in my life embody such singular dedication, such endurance, and have accomplished so much.  She needs all the help that she can get to continue this noble effort and protect the last Orangutan habitats  on this planet.  

I went to Borneo in July with Dr. Galdikas and the trip was literally life changing.  So yeah, I can run a 5k.  I mean, look at that guy's face!  You can give me 10 bucks.  

He's gonna get angry if you don't.  

 Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support OFI (Orangutan Foundation International).

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!  

It might take me three hours to run three miles but I'm going to do it.
