Story
On Sunday 8th October I will be running 32km - c. 20 miles (from Lixouri to Argostoli, Kefalonia) to raise money for the ARK 'Winter Food Fund'. I'm passionate about animals, love Greece, enjoy running - and can't resist a challenge!
To thank you for donating, I'm offering a "mystery prize" if you can predict my finishing time or closest to it! Leave a "Message Of Support" when you donate and put 3 numbers representing Hours, Minutes AND Seconds - e.g. 3:41:59. You can donate and join in the game regardless of what country you live in!
ARK (Animal Rescue Kefalonia) takes in stray, abused and neglected dogs and cats from all over the island. I have spent 3 wonderful holidays volunteering there - it's a very special place run by a small group of hard-working people. There are 400 animals all awaiting homes and it costs 5,000 EUR a month just to feed them all! During the winter the shelter really struggles as there are no tourists visiting to bring donations. The 'Winter Food Fund' will ensure the animals are kept well-fed and happy during this time.
Senor (my beautiful ARK cat below) and I would like to thank you in advance for helping out his old friends!! Click HERE for ARK website.
NOTE: Please rest assured that I am self-funding my challenge and the mystery prize. Your donations will go directly to ARK (via ARK Doris UK).

I'm passionate about animals, love Greece, enjoy running - and can't resist a challenge! I'm combining these interests to raise money for the ARK (Animal Rescue Kefalonia), where I have volunteered a few times now. I even adopted a beautiful ARKie cat (Senor) last year.
