After a few years of trying to get into GNR, this year I've decided to take the plunge and also raise some much appreciated funds for Cats Protection. Cats are an important part of my life and being able to give back to charities like the ones that gave us our own furry family is lovely!

I'll hopefully be joining my brother and his fiancée on the start line this year, so it will be a special race for me.

Anything you can spare to help me reach that start line will be much appreciated be me - and the charity!

Cats Protection help more cats than any other organisation and we want to help millions more. We are a dedicated community of passionate employees, volunteers, supporters and partners, working together to make life better for millions of cats and the people who care for them.

We are the voice of cats in society and we speak up for their protection.

We’re working towards a society where every cat is treated with kindness and respect.

Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.
