How you can help...

If you would like to help save these gorgeous apes from extinction, please make a donation to the

Orang-Utan Appeal UK.
(please click on their logo if you would like more information)

Or you can donate via me by using the button at the bottom of the page and I will ensure any funds are sent to the Orang-Utan Appeal or directly to Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre or to the Nature Interpretation Centre at Rasa Ria.

The Orang-Utan Appeal UK is a registered charity based in the south of England, dedicated to the rehabilitation and preservation of Orang-Utans and the conservation of their habitat.

Founded in 2000, the Appeal strives to protect remaining wild populations of Orang-Utans by providing support and funding for projects across Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo; and by raising awareness of the plight of this great ape across the globe. The Appeal is also authorised to work on behalf of the famous Sepilok Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Centre.

I will be taking part in the Bupa Great South Run on Sunday 30th October 2011.

This is a 10 mile run around Portsmouth and I will be running it to raise money directly for the Orangutan Appeal UK.

Please spare whatever you can and make a donation via my Just Giving website: http://www.justgiving.com/carlystairs2011

Or you can donate via text by sending ORAN99 followed by either £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 to 70070.
