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:

SPOT THE GORILLA COMPETITION!! How about this for a hero - the first great ape to tinkle the ivories on Top of The Pops alongside the UK's original Mr Big (and still at it after over thirty five years!) Mr Big
Oh OK so it was on the German version of the show - but it's still classic gorilla footage!
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
