I celebrate my 50th Birthday this year, and just a couple of months later, tackle this, my 5th marathon. Having had various injuries over the last couple of years, I’m anticipating it will be quite a challenge!
However that challenge is nothing compared to the challenge faced by the animals on the planet who are used and abused for food and entertainment, and caught in the destruction of their natural habitats for human gain.

I am proud to be running in support of International Animal Rescue.

International Animal Rescue not only save animals from suffering, they also rehabilitate and release them back into the wild and work to protect their precious natural habitats. Their work includes cutting free and caring for captive bears in India and Armenia, rescuing and rehabilitating orangutans and other primates in Indonesia and treating injured and orphaned howler monkeys in Costa Rica. Their aim is to return animals to their natural environment wherever possible, but they also provide a permanent home for those that can no longer fend for themselves.

Their vision is a world where humans and animals coexist in sustainable ecosystems. Their mission is to build awareness and implement effective systems such that habitats and animals are protected.
