12 Marathons in 12 Months 🏃‍♂️

I will be running a marathon a month every month in 2024 in an attempt to raise funds for @animalfreeresearchuk. In a world of factory farming, hunting with hounds and so called sports where animals die on an almost daily basis, animal testing may be the cruelest.

Animal Free Research are creating a world where human diseases are cured faster with animal free specific technologies.

In the UK there are facilities such as MBR Acres where thousands of beagle puppies are bred every year solely for the vivisection industry. At 12 to 16 weeks these puppies are taken to laboratories. Before that they are housed in cages in conditions any domestic dog owner would have their animal taken from them for. Never setting foot outdoors for risk of pathogens or infection, with the rest of their lives being tested on with drugs and chemicals. This treatment allowed in a nation of supposed animal lovers!

Inspired by @thoserunningsisters completing this challenge in 2022, I had intended on doing this last year but felt I was not fit enough. Now half a stone heavier and into my 40's, I can't see putting it off any longer helping things to get easier!
