Most folk know that I fancy myself as a bit of a runner, but to be honest I've only ever been a part timer and my love of cake and lying on the sofa has always got in the way of my sporting ambition!
However, I started working for the Scottish SPCA last year and my eyes were opened to the scale of cruelty towards animals that happens every day right here in Scotland. I've written countless stories (and shed many tears) about animals that have been beaten, starved, abandoned and left to die and it breaks my heart.
So, I've only gone and signed me and the hubby up to run a bloody marathon with all the money we raise going to help our hairy friends from the animal kingdom.
If you sponsor me today an animal somewhere in Scotland will have you to thank for helping them escape a life of misery. On a personal level, I'll be eternally grateful for your support, which will spur me on to put down my cake, get my ass off the sofa and get out there and run!
Thanks very much for visiting my justgiving page.
