Since the first Covid lockdown, dogs and puppies being abandoned has soared, meaning that dog shelters and rescues have been stretched and require more support and fundraising than ever. A lot of these rescues and shelters rely on fundraising and donations from the public. I wanted to choose a local, independent rescue so that I can support the care and rehoming of dogs in my local community. Dogs deserve the absolute best life possible, and I hope that any money I raise through running my marathon can contribute towards achieving this.
Neither myself or Ali had run anywhere near Marathon distance before we started training at the end of December, so it’s not been easy, but we’re getting there now! I don’t think either of us had even really thought about doing a marathon previously, but being massive fans of Rob Burrow made this seem a little different and something we wanted to be a part of.
Thanks for reading and for donating!
