Fundraising for Monkey World's diabetic chimp

Steve Harris

Available for over a year

Lesley Dunn lives in Essex. She started watching the TV show Monkey Life during lockdown, and fell in love with the diabetic chimp Bart. Last December she began raising money for him by walking 500 miles on her 60 foot driveway - the distance from her home to Monkey World and back. And recently, after two years of shielding, she was finally able to travel to Dorset and meet Bart face to face.
