My husband charlie and I are about to start fostering for Cats protection Stafford and district branch.  I am currently a volunteer on the national information line and since i have started volunteering for CP I  have found it rewarding in so many ways, the work that CP do is amazing and the volunteering roles are rewarding and appreciated, we have 4 cats   all rescues and want to carry on helping as many cats as we can, fund raising is so important for the welfare of the cats in Cats Protections care and we want to try and raise as much money and awareness as possible so cats protection can carry on doing great work locally and nationally. Cats Protection have a massive network of volunteers and fundraising is always essential.

• £10 can pay for bedding for a cat or kitten
• £5 can pay for kitten milk to hand feed a kitten for 10 days
• £375 can pay to run the national neutering line for 12 months

The marathon is a  big challenge for my husband who last run a marathon in 2015 so training has started from scratch. Training is now underway so we hope he will finish in a good time.

We will keep all Charlies supporters updated throughout the build up, training and on the actual day with posts, photos and videos.
