Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  I am going to be running the Virtual London Marathon on 4th October 2020 because the actual event has been cancelled.

The reason I have chosen to run for CIWF is because of some of the horrendous photos Tim has taken while having to work at numerous intensive pig, dairy and chicken farms around the country.  I didn’t realise the accepted conditions were so appalling until seeing these photos and how treatment of farm animals desperately needs to change!

The vision of CIWF is of a world where farm animals are treated with compassion and respect and where cruel intensive factory farming practices end. Its mission is to advance the well being of farm animals worldwide.  CIWF and I share the belief that farm animals should not, and need not, suffer! 

You can learn more about CIWF and the inspiring work they do by visiting their website - http://www.ciwf.org.uk/
