Hi! Thanks for taking the time to have a look at my donation page and also having a read through my ramble about running for a cause very close to my heart.

My love of Battersea properly kicked in October 2012, when a furry (albiet very scared but feisty) calico moggy crept into my heart via the pages of the Battersea website. A week later she was home with us, and over time, with lots of love and patience, has turned into the most amazing cat who answers (literally!) to the name of Flo-Bean (For those of you who have not yet had the pleasure of meeting her!)

That's not to say I didn't support and believe in the amazing work that Battersea does before that, but having experienced it first hand it made me appreciate just how much work they do, love they share and care they give to these lost and abandoned dogs and cats. They help create better lives and forever homes for many many animals that may never have been given a second chance in life.

That is why I have chosen to don my running shoes and pound the streets of London at ungodly training hours for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home! They need and deserve every bit of help they can get to continue the incredible work they do, so I'm asking you to join me in my quest and donate to a very worthy cause :)

Any donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated and will help me reach my fundraising target for Battersea, and if you are a UK taxpayer Gift Aid will add a lovely 25% to your donation! And remember, sharing is caring, so if you know someone who would love to help out please spread the word! Every bit will help those pooches and mogs find their forever homes.

Thank you so much for all your support!

Tam
