Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

This is my first (and probably last!) marathon. Over the last 8 months I have been dragging myself out of bed, away from the sofa, and the lure of Coronation Street to run around the streets of Bristol helped by my expert trainer and trusted running partner Blue, our Husky-Malamute.

 

Through running the marathon I hope to raise money for Hope Rescue which has been a great motivator. In case you don't know, I am a dog lover - so choosing Hope Rescue was a no brainer – and here’s why:

 

Did you know that some local authority dog pounds destroy perfectly healthy stray dogs after holding them for the statutory 7 days?! Hope Rescue volunteers travel thousands of miles a year moving these 'at risk' dogs into rescue centres or emergency boarding kennels. They also take in dogs for re-homing via a network of foster homes.

 

This small charity is entirely self-funded, and relies on the big hearts of their volunteers to find loving homes and futures for these dogs.

 

A donation, whatever the size, will be greatly appreciated and WILL make a difference. For example:     

£5 will pay for an emergency kennel for one night to save the life of a pound dog

£10 will pay for worm and flea treatment for a foster or kennel dogs

£15 will vaccinate a kennel or foster dog

£25 will pay for a crate to safely transport a pound dog

         

Thank you all x
