the gorilla that made it big in the Cadbury's advert
The Great Gorilla Run started a long time ago - 5 years to be precise. A lot has changed since then.
In 2003, 400 Great Gorilla pioneers, every single one of them dressed in a gorilla suit, ran, jogged or walked through the streets of London to raise money to help save the Mountain gorilla.
Since then:
Over 3,000 people have run
Over £1 million has been raised for gorillas
A World Record has been set for the largest gathering of people in gorilla suits.
Great Gorilla Run San Francisco in 2007 was a huge success
Check out the fun had in London a the 2008 Gorilla Run:

What a fantastic idea - tis too late for me to get my shit together for it this year, but count me in for 2009 - and I'll get as many people as I can to join me too!
also deserving a mention is this costume for the more adventurous ape- http://www. joke. co. uk/showPart_large. asp?part=60666 at £99.99 it stands as considerably more expensive than the first, but perhaps it is a small price to pay for the attention you'll draw??
You guys are so cool... such a shame this kinda action is needed... Still... I hope you can combine having fun with raising awareness for a very worthy cause: the plight of the big apes.
hii =D thanks for accepting...this is an awesome cause I think..is there going to be a run next year? i would do this one but i only just found out about it =s wb helly x
