Animals are part of our families, we love them, play with them, talk to them. They grow old with us and don't ask for anything other than a little bit of food and a little bit of love. Charities like the RSPCA allow those wonderful and weird little creatures into our lives, and they do it all off charitable donations.

Please donate anything you can as I train for and run the 2026 London Marathon. I have never ran a marathon before, in fact, the longest distance I have ever run is a few 10ks. So this is going to be a really big test for me, but knowing I am running for a charity like the RSPCA and with the support of all my friends and family I WILL get it done!

RSPCA Derby is a local, independent charity that receives no government funding. The team cares for animals who have suffered abuse, neglect, or abandonment, offering them a second chance at life. Each year, they rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome hundreds of dogs, cats, rabbits, and small animals.

The centre costs over £12,000 per week to run and relies entirely on the generosity of public support to continue its vital work.

Thank you and much love from me and the animals

Paul
