Hi all, I will be running 3 Half Marathons - The Great Bristol Run Half Marathon, Cardiff Half Marathon and Bath Half Marathon - in September and October to raise vital funds for Bristol Animal Rescue Centre. I only took up running in October 2021, and have completed the distance on 4 occasions this year.

I chose to raise money for BARC as I adopted my dog Emma from them 3 years ago (1 Half Marathon for each year I've had her).

With the cost of living biting, a large number of animals are being given up, requiring care and shelter until new homes can be found.

Join me in caring for Bristol's vulnerable animals This year marks the 135th anniversary of Bristol Animal Rescue Centre, which has been helping, healing and homing animals and wildlife in need since 1887.To celebrate how far they've come and secure the future of care for vulnerable animals here in Bristol, I'm raising vital funds to help care for the animals who need it most and your contribution will make a difference, whether you donate £5 or £50, every little bit helps! 

Thank you for your supportEvery penny raised will go directly towards caring for the animals at Bristol Animal Rescue Centre.

· £5 could help provide a cat with a treat pack, such as a bouncy ball or a tasty snack, to reduce stress and brighten up their time with Bristol ARC

· £10 could help provide warm comfy beds for our feline friends whilst they wait for their forever homes

· £25 could help provide a wellbeing kit for our cats, including providing calming music, soothing scents and a comfortable blanket to help reduce stress
