Kelly Curran is raising money for ARC ANIMAL RESCUE CENTRE
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

London Marathon 2019 · 28 April 2019 ·

ARC Animal Rescue celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2012. Originally started by Mrs Shrimpton and Miss Topsy Hindley, the official title is "Sidmouth Animal Welfare and Animal Rescue Circle". Another local charity known as Leap, "The League for the Encouragement of Animal Protection" was incorporated into ARC when its founder member died and ARC inherited the responsibility for their remaining animals and their funds. Our purpose is to provide rescue, relief and re-homing for lost, unwanted and abandoned domestic animals in the area. Some 40 years later Miss Hindley remains one of the charity's trustees and continues to be a driving force behind ARC and an inspiration to all. Much, however, has changed since those early days. The growth of local towns and the pressures of modern living have all played a part in ensuring that ARC is as busy now as it ever was. ARC has forged links with other organizations on a local and national level and is often called upon to help other charities re-home domestic animals which might otherwise be destroyed.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my justgiving page. 

Sooooo, I’m running the London marathon! Not sure why, not sure how but I’m doing it! I’ve only been running for a year and can’t believe I have come this far and not given up yet, but truth is, I quite like running! I’m not fast and sometimes I want to give up but I won’t, especially if I now have a charity to run for  

I wasn’t going to run for a charity as I have a club place but so many people told me they would sponsor me if I did. So here I am supporting a wonderful little rescue in Ottery St Mary where actually a few of my lovely dogs and cats who I look after through my Cranbrook Petcare business,  have come from. So anyone who wants to pop in a few pennies, please do and know the money you give, not only spurs me on in my (very hard) training,  but will help this little organisation and all the lovely animals that need homes, immensely. 

Thank you so much
