SOS! Ape-ril for Aaron

Did you know that we share 96.4% of our DNA with Orangutans? Sumatran Orangutans are one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, but they are in big trouble due to the massive rate of deforestation - there are just 6,600 left in the wild. Aaron wanted to do something to help, so he signed up to grow a beard for Ape-ril, in solidarity with our red-haired relatives! Growing a beard is something that all apes can do, and what’s a bit of an itchy chin between cousins?

It would be great if you would consider sponsoring Aaron AND sharing his page on Facebook and Twitter.

It's worth noting that you will need to submit your donations in GBP, but donations can be made from anywhere in the world. If you are outside the UK, you can work out the amount you want to donate in GBP by using a currency conversion site such as xe.com.

All the funds raised will go to the Sumatran Orangutan Society, who are working to protect orangutans, their forests and their future. Thanks in advance!
