Jersey man to take on eight marathons for Durrell

A man who raised over thirty thousand pounds for Durrell running the Jersey marathon dressed as a gorilla is launching a new fundraiser.

Will Highfield plans to run a marathon at each of the eight Durrell conservation sites across the world to raise more money to save endangered species.

His first marathon will be in Assam, India during December.

The project will run from 2020 to 2025 which is the year Gerald Durrell would turn 100 years old.
