You might be thinking I've finally lost my mind. You'd be correct.

Welcome to the stupidest thing I've done thus far in the name of an absolutely brilliant cause.

I am a massive animal lover and have quite often quoted how many times in my life that my rescue animals have saved me from feeling so alone in some very dark times, and I know hundreds of thousands of people feel the same way.

It's exceptionally important that we give back where we are able, and advocate for those without the voice to do so themselves.

So, as I turn 30, I've decided like any normal person who loathes running that I'll do 13.1 miles of it, to raise funds to assist the fantastic work that the RSPCA do for animals across the UK, and help put a stop to the mistreatment and cruelty against animals; for good.

All monies donated will go on to help fund the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming services for animals across the UK, which includes providing life-saving care for the injured or neglected and responding to millions of calls to its cruelty and advice line each year.

From the very bottom of my heart;

Thank you.
