I have always wanted to climb Ben Nevis but the opportunity has never really arisen - until now!  To be able to climb the highest mountain in the UK AND raise money for The Jim Cronin Memorial Fund is awesome!

Monkey World in Dorset provides a sanctuary for a wide range of primates who have suffered primarily at the hands of humans.  Chimps have been rescued from horrific conditions as beach photographers props having been taken from their mothers in the wild as youngsters.  Orang-utans and Gibbons have been rescued from the pet trade having also been taken as youngsters from the wild.  AND this isn't just happening abroad.  More and more primates (Capuchins, Marmosets, Lemurs, etc) are being rehomed at Monkey World after suffering as part of the legal pet trade in the UK.  Several species are under the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme and great progress is being made in breeding these animals and saving them from extinction.

Monkey World is a very special place and I try to visit my adopted Chimp Ben and Orang-utan Joly at least twice a year.  Being able to watch all the dudes living with others of their own kind after all they've been through is just amazing.  The Primate Care Staff do a brilliant job at enriching the lives of the very special primates in their care.

I have already donated the minimum sponsorship as my contribution to the cause.  Please do what you can to help me top this and in doing so help Monkey World and the Jim Cronin Memorial Fund continue doing the amazing job that they do in caring for our nearest relatives.  THANK YOU!!!
