Rachel's fundraiser for Cats Protection

rachel atherton is raising money for Cats Protection

Manchester Half Marathon 2025 · 12 October 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

We share our lives with cats. They bring happiness to millions of us every day. Yet too many cats don’t get the care and kindness they deserve. At Cats Protection we stand up for every cat to make life better for cats and the people who care for them.

Story

Over the past 15 years I have adopted 3 cats from Cats Protection: Lizzie who was 4 months old, Belle who was 18 years old and now Sabine who was 2 years old when i first adopted her over a year ago. I have also volunteered in the past at my local shelter so have seen first hand the efforts the staff will go to to make sure that each cat feels safe and comfortable until they find the best home possible and the right kind of family for them.

Running has never been my strong suit, it was only when i decided to take part in a local running event that i found a love for it. With the help of my amazing coach I have worked on my cardio and so far have complete 2 10k and have plenty more planned for 2025 leading up to the Manchester Half Marathon, and my chosen fundraising event, in October.

Cats Protection help more cats than any other organisation and we want to help millions more. We are a dedicated community of passionate employees, volunteers, supporters and partners, working together to make life better for millions of cats and the people who care for them.

We are the voice of cats in society and we speak up for their protection.

We’re working towards a society where every cat is treated with kindness and respect.

Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.
