As a proud Dachshund dad, I’m running the London Marathon to support Dog Meat Trade Dachshund Rescue & Support Group, an incredible charity that rescues Dachshunds from the dog meat trade in China and South Korea and brings them to safety here in the UK.

Around 10 million dogs are killed each year in China, many just like the dogs we love at home. This charity works tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome Dachshunds who have suffered unimaginable cruelty, giving them the second chance they deserve.

The miles will be tough, but knowing this run can help save lives makes every step worth it. Your support helps give rescued Dachshunds a second chance at the happy life they were denied.
