The Studland Country Fair 5k · 25 August 2013

For over 55 years, Margaret Green Animal Rescue has been rescuing, caring for and rehoming animals. We have centres in Dorset and Devon dedicated to their care. The centres have a large variety of animals that are looking for their forever home.

Story

I don't do exercise. On the odd occasion I feel like doing anything vaguely energetic, I tend to sit down and eat something until the moment passes.  I don't run....unless it's to the fridge/cupboard/freezer to retrieve some more pizza/chocolate/icecream. This has become my way of life for a shamefully long time now.

However, I love my job and want to do something to help raise money for the huge numbers of animals that desperately need our help every year, and that's why I have gone a little bit mad and decided that I will:

Do part one of the Tri- 4 -Rescue event on Sunday 1st Sept 2013 , organised by our fabulous Wingletang team - Find out more about it here: www.justgiving.com/tri4rescue and give them a call to sign up! 01822 810 215

Attempt the 5k challenge, together with my lovely husband Jeremy Keeling (who is decidely fitter than me) at Studland Country Fair on  Sunday 25th August 2013.

All for the best charity in the whole wide world - Margaret Green Animal Rescue!

Not only am I going to do it, but I'm going to TRAIN to do it, because not only am I committing to finish both, i'm also going to attempt to do the 5k run in less than 30 MINS! (Jeremy will no doubt do a fabulous job and make both me and everyone who sponsors us proud).

This may not seem like a huge deal to someone who is actually good at running or who exercises regularly, but given the fact that I currently feel the need to lie down after going up the 15 stairs to our Church Knowle office, this is going to be not only a challenge, it's going to take a miracle!

Please help us by giving a little bit of money to support this torture.

Many many thanks

 

Lou
