In my 55th year, I wanted to do something challenging in memory of my mother, who dedicated her life to supporting and fundraising for animals.

I have done four tough long distance runs dressed as a dog for most of them:

4th February: 18 mile Four Trigs local event around Sidmouth, Devon - done

24th February: Brighton Half Marathon with the charity team - done

17th March: The 20 mile Gruelling Grizzly in Devon - done

7th April: The 22 mile Exe to Axe in Devon - done (Took 6.30 hours as extra slow in tough conditions)

Family and friends, near and far, it would be so appreciated if you can help me keep fundraising for International Animal Rescue, whom I ran for a few years ago. Any amount would be so appreciated for this amazing charity.

Thank you so much,

Naomi/Nomes/Nutty Nomes!
