Hello
Four years ago my friend Annette Ablit asked me to run the GSR with her to raise awareness for Huntingtons Disease a horrible condition which her husband developed, its effects were felt deeply by family and friends ( just giving page for this charity too ) Well that was 4 years ago and that put into motion my running hobby as it is today with the highlight being my first marathon at age 50 ( a present from another friend thanks Beth Pirie !!) Having got the bug I ran another marathon in Malta this year in February not realising that the Brighton marathon was so close ...this is where I am hoping my fundraising request will be the motivation I need to get round as I am feeling slightly tired now! and what motivates me most is animal welfare ... My chosen charity brought us our cheeky, mischievous bundle of scruff from the streets of Bulgaria so I would like to raise some funds for the great work they do. The charity not only rescues dogs from the streets they also provide an umbrella support for other welfare groups and help in neutering and education for the dogs benefit. Money also goes towards providing shelter for the dogs chained up for guarding ..the so called 'door bell dogs' This charity is one where you really know your donation will have an immediate effect ..you are able to see a dogs journey from the sometimes un imaginable cruelty ( i wont dwell on this aspect but its there and very very real ) starvation and misery to a loving 'paws under the table home'
I thank you
