Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for SPANA.

I have decided to make the Great North Run a wee bit more difficult - by wearing the costume in the picture. As you can probably tell it weighs a ton. People keep asking if I'm mad. And every now and again, I think I could be, but then I remember who I am raising money for. And I remember those sad horses, in sweltering heat, pulling tourists and heavy carriages around tourist attractions - I also remember through my work, those images of Donkey's having so many bricks loaded into a basket on their back, that their legs buckle under the weight - often breaking them. I want to do something to help make their lives more bearable. I hope you can help me acheive that.

This costume takes about 20-30 mins to build around me - hanging off the side are four water buckets and pretend sacks of rice (I've been persuaded not to carry real sacks). On the top is a huge basket, full of pretend bricks - all built around a wooden frame and saddle.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: SPANA - The Society For The Protection Of Animals Abroad gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please please sponsor me now!
