Since the pandemic started, I have spent most of my time sitting in front of a computer. I have seen friends pass away, work and home life change instantly, and generally, life has been a bit crap.

Now the pandemic seems to be nearing the end, the weather is cheering up, and my friend Carole, made redundant during the pandemic, has a new job at the local RSPCA. So I thought I better make an effort.

We love pets and have a dog, four cats and a turtle, and they all have a loving home, but some other pets aren't quite so lucky.

Therefore I will go from sitting on the office chair a lot to running (jogging) 5k on Wednesday 1st September.

Any money raised goes straight to our local RSPCA, of which Carole, as the regional manager, will make sure it goes to good use.

Thanks for your support.
