Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I completed the half marathon in the truly horrendous time of 3 hours 10 minutes  

In my defence my left foot is now purple and swollen and altogether foul . It was hurting like hell from about 7 miles in and I had to limp from there to the finish, carefully avoiding marshalls who wanted to put me on a bus! No way! I hope the little hogs appreciate my efforts on their behalf.....

If you've not sponsored me yet, please consider doing so as I really need cheering up - I still can't walk and my foot is on ice

Apart from all that the BHPS are truly wonderful people - I've been caring for injured hogs for a while now as a volunteer and I can say that their information and support is excellent.

They provide a fantastic service for both individual hedgehogs and the species in the UK which is thought to be in decline (http://www.hogwatch.org.uk/) so please do sponsor me even it its only for a tiny amount. Tiny amounts add up and the little hogs need all the help they can get!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Hedgehog Preservation Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

About the charity

BHPS aims to protect the future and welfare of native British hedgehogs and help people better to understand and respect wildlife through education, conservation and the funding of cutting-edge research focussed on hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus).
