Hey! It's me, Cassie - known by some absolute bangers such as "I £#(&ing hate running", "I'd rather be dead than run", "I only do yoga, soz" and "taking Phys Ed via distance learning in order to graduate high school." 💁‍♀️

Despite all odds, I've actually agreed to run a half marathon to raise funds for an animal charity I care about: Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries. God help me.

Why Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries?
Those that know me well know that I've never been particularly athletic or keen to run. Those that know me well also know that I've always loved animals of all sorts and believe that all deserve to live free of suffering.

Goodheart aims to change public opinion, raising its voice above the crowd and working towards change in the perception and treatment of animals. Goodheart's sanctuary in Worcestershire is home to over 350 rescued animals and a dedicated outreach programme aiming to improve the lives of many, many more.

Running on Plant Power
I'm hoping to not only raise £1000 for this fantastic charity, but to also end this "bUt VeGaNs DoN't GeT eNoUgH pRoTeIn" argument once and for all. My half marathon - and all the training leading up to it - will be powered entirely by plants, tears and determination. 😅

I'll be running the October 31st Wimbledon Common Half Marathon - 21.1km in London mud.
