Ian's the cute one. That's also Ian holding him. The Grumpy Vegan invites you to join with me in support of fellow vegan Ian Bergin who will run the London Marathon on Sunday, April 26 in support of the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. “They do the incredible work of protecting mountain gorillas and their habitats in a very dangerous place,” said Ian.
