The beauty is Hayley Bagnall who sacrificed a lucrative London corporate social responsibility consultant job to inspire a permanent future for our famous "Man of the Forest" - the orang-utan.
Packing all the youthful zeal, Hayley will mount an assault on Mt Kinabalu on November 8-10, slot herself into a full orang-utan dress once she reaches the summit that is Low's Peak, gather all climbers she can rally around her to unfurl a large banner to launch the week-long campaign!
"The aim is to raise awareness and raise vital funds to help support the work of the Orang-Utan Appeal UK here in Sabah," explained Hayley in her new role as the Appeal's Liaison Officer.
The Orang-Utan Appeal UK, founded by businesswoman Sue Sherwood, has been working hand in hand with the Sepilok Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Centre since 2002.
"Please help us make a real difference to orang-utan's future," Hayley appealed.
"Save a species by sponsoring today," she added.
