SUCCESSFULLY RAN 5K IN A GORILLA SUIT.

I really can't thank you enough, guys! Thanks everyone for your generous donations, and support! (if you don't know what I'm talking about, check out my previous journal post)

In total, I raised $448.00 for the Edmonton Gorilla Run. Of which, $228.00 was ALL FROM NEWGROUNDS! ... Really. In all seriousness, you guys rock. THANKS AGAIN!

A total of three hundred and four participants showed up for the run, so we didn't qualify for the Guiness World Record, but hey! There's always next year! ... I'm pretty sure I'm going back again. lol
If you're interested in signing up for a Gorilla Run near you, visit their website or search "gorilla run" on google. It costs $100.00 and you get to keep the gorilla suit after, too!

THANKS TO JAKBARONKING FOR THE DONKEY KONG TIE IDEA!! lol

To everyone that made a donation and sponsored me for the run, I need your addresses! I'm mailing thank-you cards within the next week, so if you haven't given me your address already, please PM it to me now! :D

LOL nooo! I shoulda donated :p oh well. You're a cool person for doing that. And truly look very sexy in that gorilla suit.

Insert joke here

Great job! I just imagine how uncomfortable running 5k in a gorilla suit must be.

redjokerx 2010-09-12 04:50:54

that's a lot of money! im glad the people on ng gave so much!
i bet all the other gorillas were jealous of your tie

Wow, that's pretty badass that you raised over $400... but is that Canadian dollars or REAL money? >;)

Seriously, though, that's impressive that you could contribute that much simply by running around in a gorilla suit... impressive and *awesome.*

I must confess that I am a little offended by the tie, though; didn't you know that tie-related choking deaths are the leading cause of mountain gorilla endangerment?! Unfortunately clip-ons have not yet caught on within the gorilla community. =(

Hoh, you actually did what Jak suggested! It made you really stand out from the group (Although Gorilla chef looks also really cool). But we demand MOAR graphic documents!
And moar storiez, pl0X!

Ugh! 5k is tough. I couldn't imagine what it's doing that in a gorilla suit. Good job!

Prome 2010-10-05 09:08:15

JonSaskawan 2010-10-14 22:30:37

Congratulations!

Coop 2010-10-30 08:25:31

Nice one - I think I'd struggle to run 5k at the moment it proper running gear (I've just gotten over a cold), but in a gorilla suit, that's nuts.

Major Kudos to you :)

Planning on doing it next year?

VicariousE 2010-10-30 16:40:14

techieman11 2010-11-11 11:23:47

nice job,
did any of the racers get heat stroke or something?

schnitzel-dispenser 2010-11-18 15:21:49

sounds like it was fun. hope you didn't throw barrels at people.

Luke 2010-12-01 21:39:33

That is awesome! I wish we did that sort of thing in Regina.

Your art is incredible by the way, very very nice!
