I'm running the London Marathon for Battersea this year because I love my dog Huxley and my three cats—Jinksey, Albert, and Rosie—and I believe every animal deserves a loving home too. Battersea takes dogs and cats in, they give them the expert care they need, and find them new homes that are just right for them. By donating you’re helping to fund the amazing work that they do, and give as many dogs and cats as possible the chance for a better life.

More about what Battersea does, from Battersea themselves:

“Battersea will always be here for every dog and cat. Battersea takes dogs and cats in, gives them the expert care they need and finds them new homes that are just right for them. They help pet owners make informed choices, provide training advice, and campaign for changes in the law. And they help other rescue centres and charities at home and abroad because they want to be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need Battersea.”
