I am running the Race to the Tower 2022 ultra marathon (53 miles) along the Cotswold Way to raise funds for the Dogs Trust.

I have a wonderful dog (Chocolate Labrador) who loves running, and many people that I know have dogs, and also take them running. They really are our best friends/part of our families.

Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity and cares for over 16,000 abandoned dogs each year through a network of 21 rehoming centres in the UK. They have been involved in every piece of legislation affecting dogs over the past 126 years.  Most dogs find loving new homes within about six weeks but those who need a little extra care are always safe with the Dogs Trust.

Your sponsorship contributions are used to help all the dogs in care. The money is used to cover the costs of running the Rehoming Centre, costs such as heating the kennels and washing the dogs’ bedding. The money also goes towards treats for the dogs, training and medical care – all with the ultimate goal of finding each dog a loving home.
