Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
I've decided to run the Three Peaks Race (24 gruelling miles, up and down three of England's most majestic peaks, Wernside, Ingleborough and Penyghent) in aid of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society. I was shocked by how many hedgehogs I have seen run over recently; after surviving the long, hard winter in hibernation, to come out and get squished on the road. I aim to raise £150, however if I make over and above that, I pledge to wear hedgey with me on my hand as i'm running the Three Peaks. UPDATE: let's go crazy and head for £200 and if I reach this, I will wear a furry hedgehog strapped to my head!

- - To encourage children to respect our natural wildlife - by supplying information and giving lectures and thus fostering an interest in hedgehogs.
