I am thrilled to share my journey as I prepare to run for the animals at the 2026 London Marathon on April 26, 2026. This marathon is not just a race; it is a powerful opportunity to support the incredible work of International Animal Rescue.

International Animal Rescue is dedicated to saving animals from suffering and providing them with a second chance at life. They rehabilitate and release these precious creatures back into their natural habitats, while also working tirelessly to protect those environments. From cutting free and caring for captive bears in India and Armenia, to rescuing and rehabilitating orangutans and other primates in Indonesia, their efforts are nothing short of inspiring. They also treat injured and orphaned howler monkeys in Costa Rica, ensuring that every animal receives the care it deserves.

Their mission is clear: they aim to return animals to their natural environment whenever possible, but they also provide a permanent home for those who can no longer fend for themselves. Their vision is a world where humans and animals coexist harmoniously within sustainable ecosystems.

As I lace up my running shoes for this marathon, I am filled with gratitude for the work that International Animal Rescue does every day. But they cannot do it alone; they need our support! I am asking you to join me in making a difference by contributing towards my fundraising goal of £1,500. Your generous donations will directly impact the lives of countless animals in need.

Together, we can help create a brighter future for these vulnerable creatures. Let’s run for their lives!
