Why I made the blog

Hi, my name is Olivia and welcome to Change 4 Chimps.

I have loved chimpanzees for as long as I can remember. I want to help them in any way possible. I stumbled upon a website about an amazing charity doing amazing things. It is called Save the Chimps. They provide a sanctuary to chimps that were in biomedical research labs. Currently they are trying to migrate chimpanzees from the Coulston Foundation, a biomedical research lab that was shut down, in New Mexico to their "Islands in the Sun" sanctuary in Ft. Pierce, FL.  My goal by starting this blog is to raise not only awareness of the issue of biomedical research, but to raise money to help Save the Chimps. I am going to try to raise $2,500 to migrate Scrappy to Florida. There, he will be able to play in the grass, sleep under the stars, and most importantly, have plenty of room to swing and climb.
