On the 4th of May I will running in the Prague Marathon. Whilst I have run marathons before, I was 10 years younger and 10kg lighter the last time. Now with a smaller engine, bigger boiler, and a bit less grease (as my cousin put it) I'm back for more.

Over the last six months I have seen first hand some of the great work that Hopefield Animal Sanctuary do, trying to give the best possible lives to many abandoned or abused animals. The staff here work tirelessly every day, some 365 days a year. Please help me raise money for them to continue to carry out their great work. Without the bureaucracy that comes with some charities, I can assure you it will reach front line.
