Throughout September I will be completing a number of walks as part of the Cats Protection Nine Mile Challenge. The challenge is simple. 9 miles. 1 month. For cats.

This is a cause close to my heart and I am 100% a crazy cat lady! I manage a great Cats Protection charity shop that was opened a couple of years ago to support a group of volunteers in North Birmingham. There's no adoption centre in North Birmingham where the cats can be looked after so these volunteers look after cats and kittens in need from their own homes. I have never known such a dedicated bunch of people and am very humbled by their commitment to cats.

I'd like to do my bit to help them continue the amazing work they do on a daily basis, and that's where you come in! My plea to you is simple, swap tomorrows barista coffee, pint of beer or whatever else your poison may be and text CPNB66 £3 to 70070 or simply donate via this page.
