Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the end of March I shall be lacing up the running shoes, and heading out, to do what a man's gotta do. I used to run ten k's for fun, these days they're a real effort, and getting out of bed the next day without the aid of dynamite is a tough demand. I've run half marathons before, but nowadays it's an onerous task that fills me with a tad of trepidation. 

I've always had a soft spot for dogs, and the Dog's Trust is a great cause that will help me bear those aches and pains just that bit easier. It will of course still be bloody agony. I may grimace 😬 I may yelp 😱 . I may even cry 😢 . But enough about the pre-race warm-up, I'm sure the crowd will keep me going, no matter how tough it gets. 

Dog's Trust website : "Founded in 1891, Dogs Trust (formerly the National Canine Defence League) is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK. Our mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction. ... No healthy dog is ever destroyed "
