All

We are running this years Birmingham half marathon at the beginning of October for the Brooke Charity.

The Brooke is the UK’s leading overseas equine welfare charity aiming to improve the lives of horses, donkeys and mules working in the poorest parts of the world in Asia, Africa, Central America and the Middle East.  Many of the people Brooke works with are desperately poor and depend heavily on their working animals for income. The work these animals do is vital to so many people living in poverty in the developing world.  However, millions of horses, donkeys and mules are suffering right now, in an almost indescribable way. They endure backbreaking work as they are often overloaded, as they haul goods and people to help their poor owners eke out a living.  In blistering heat or unbearable cold they are put to work in vast brick kiln factories, sprawling urban slums, chaotic city streets, remote villages and unforgiving terrain. Yet, the exhaustion, dehydration, malnutrition, disease and painful injuries these poor, loyal animals suffer are mostly preventable.

The Brooke is committed to measurably improving the lives of 2 million suffering horses, donkeys and mules that need help most in the world.  They are determined to make sure that these animals have a better life now through free veterinary treatment and a happier future through training their owners to help their own animals and research to reveal the best solutions for animal suffering.
