I’m doing the St Albans Half Marathon to raise money for the Royal Veterinary College’s charity, the Animal Care Trust—in memory of my old cat, Mr Mo, and as part of my recovery from a back injury.

Mr Mo was 12 when I adopted him. After he had a stroke, the RVC gave him brilliant care that helped him walk again and gave us more time together. When his health declined, their support made a really difficult time a bit easier.

The Animal Care Trust funds hospital equipment, life-saving research, and supports the next generation of veterinary professionals. Every donation helps improve animal care and gives more pets the chance to return home to their loving families.

I’m fundraising to say thank you—and to help others receive the same care and compassion.
