I am participating in the Brighton Half Marathon 2025 to raise funds for International Animal Rescue. The organization is dedicated to rescuing animals from cruel treatment, rehabilitating them, and giving them a chance at a better life. From the rescue of orangutans to the care of street animals, they're making a real difference.

My friend Maddalena, discovered International Animal Rescue through Francesco Trento’s online writing course "Come si scrive una grande storia" (How to Write a Great Story). During the pandemic, Francesco hosted online talks by authors in exchange for donations, and one of the authors, Tiffany McDaniel, chose International Animal Rescue.

Since then, Maddalena adopted a bear Bean and a slow loris Kobong , and I would like to do my part on supporting IAR work

I’m aiming to fly from Italy to Brighton to beat my personal best and finish the Brighton Half Marathon in 100 minutes. Your donations will help us reach our target and support the charity’s work!

Please donate whatever you can to help us make a real impact. Every contribution counts, and sharing this page would mean a lot!

Thank you for your support!
