Elephant Asia Rescue & Survival Foundation (EARS)
Hello fabulous people, as with tradition, to balance the karma I've accumulated from all the bitching, shade throwing and eye rolling I've done this past year, it is my annual fundraiser in conjunction with my fabulous 33rd birthday. This year, I've decided to do good for one of my most favourite animals ever -- the majestic and ever so graceful elephants -- through EARS (Elephant Asia Rescue and Survival Foundation). Launched in Hong Kong in 2010, the foundation promotes the plight of the Asian elephant and also strives to educate everyone of us on responsible tourism. Learn more at www.earsasia.org.More than 100 elephants are killed each day all over the world, be it in Africa or right here in Asia. Here are some devastating images that you need to see to believe: https://www.instagram.com/p/bwGz0qTXpw, https://www.instagram.com/p/18N-nznm9R and https://www.instagram.com/p/qCCanYMHjq. And for what purpose? Because some people think it's necessary to accesorise with ivory. Of course, if you ask me, I prefer to accessorise with human skulls. You know, channelling McQueen and not forgetting that I'm Sarawakian. Ok lah, after all those depressing images, go check out and follow https://www.instagram.com/dswt -- they have the best pics of baby elephants.If, like me, you're angered by human selfishness and idiocy, join me in raising some money to help EARS in their everyday pursuit to end violence against elephants. Through education and awareness, the world will be a better place. Because elephants can't speak for themselves, let us do our part and lend our ears. Ok, that's all.

Elephant Asia Rescue & Survival Foundation (EARS)
Hi, thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page. After spending the first half of this year being extremely lazy, and getting very unfit, I decided to start running again. To try to help with motivation I decided to sign up for the Birmingham Half Marathon on 19th October 2014. My goal is to complete the 13 miles (22km) in one piece. I am running for charity so my pain and suffering can help a good cause :) I am raising money for the Elephant Asia Rescue and Survival Foundation (EARS). Its a relatively small charity that does fantastic work in SE Asia to help raise awareness about the plight of the Asian Elephant through various different projects. One project involves the welfare of two elephants, Kiri and Seila, at a Zoo in Kampot, Cambodia. This is where I learnt about the work EARS has been doing. If this project wasn't in place I wouldn't like to imagine how these two cheeky elephants would be living. They now have a daily supply of food live in a new large enclosure that was built by EARS. You can find out more about the wonderful work done by EARS at www.earsasia.org. Any donations will be greatly appreciated and really will help me to dig deep and get around the half marathon when the pain begins:). Once again, thank you for taking the time to visit my page. Vic
