Hi! 👋 I'm Rae! I own and run a small Personal Training studio, Muscle Mechanix, in Pontefract West Yorkshire. Last year some of my clients and me took part in the Pontefract 10km and we all said NEVER AGAIN! But here we are, a year on, doing it AGAIN!! Most of us aren't runners...we lift heavy stuff! Running 10km is a huge challenge to most of us, myself included. This year, we're asking for sponsorship for The Friends of Akitas Trust UK, a charity I have been a huge part of for almost 15 years. We rescue and rehome the Akitas that most other charities don't and we are now in desperate need of funds to help us to keep doing what we do best...saving lives. Our weekly kennelling bill to keep dogs safe prior to being rehomed currently stands at just over £1000, thats before we factor in neutering, vets bills, flea and worm treatment, transport runs to get dogs into our care etc etc...Help us reach our target and you will helping 13 dogs in kennels stay safe for another week. Runners will be myself ( I do not run...EVER!), Becky Westwood, Sandie Haigh, Vic Wilson, Simone Walker, Helen Dobson, Debs Smith, Kelsey Mansell & George Cooper-Wright. Please show your support to my amazing team of runners and dig deep! Thank you so much from me and all the doggos in our care. You can ind out more about the amazing rescue work we do at www.friendsofakitas.co.uk x
