PETA has been one of my favourite charities since I encountered it in the 1970s.  The values it embodies are so fundamental to our hopes for a more peaceful, just and kinder world.  It has had many successes around animal testing, the fur trade and much more.  At this time, PETA, like most charities has lost funding revenue needed to carry on its vital work to alleviate animals suffering.  

PETA works to expose cruelty to animals in all its forms, including burning, gassing, or otherwise tormenting them in horrific experiments, and cramming them together in pens so small they're unable to turn around. 

The organisation campaigns to establish and protect the rights of all animals, and I'm doing my bit to help. Please give what you can by sponsoring me to hit my 26.2-mile target in running over 10 days.  It is not much and will be fun and challenging but it would mean so much to me, as the funds raised will go towards helping our animal friends all over the world. I will start running on the 10th and will post updates thank you!
