Rachel's 3 marathons in 3 weeks for Garbo's German Shepherd Dog Rescue

Rachel Ong is raising money for Garbo's German Shepherd Dog Rescue

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 ·

Garbo's German Shepherd Dog Rescue (GGSDR) is a non-profit volunteer organisation, dedicated to finding the RIGHT home for every dog in our care. We take in unwanted and ill-treated GSD's (GSD crosses and other breed where necessary) and provide shelter, care and medical treatment (if required) until we can find them a secure and loving home. We promote responsible dog ownership and provide an aftercare advice, support and guidance service for the new owner. All prospective new owners will be home checked. This is to ensure that the home is safe for our dogs and so that we can get a better idea as to which of our dogs will match your circumstances and lifestyle. We also promote spaying and neutering to prevent more unwanted puppies. The GGSDR does not receive any government funding and relies entirely on volunteers, fundraising and charitable donations.

Story

This April, I'm running the three largest by participation marathons in three weeks: Brighton, Manchester and London! I have conquered the first challenge of getting a place in all of them, now I need to do my fundraising.

I have been lucky enough to secure my spot in London through Garbo's German Shepard Dog Rescue - an incredible non-profit volunteer organisation that takes in unwanted and ill-treated German Shepards and crosses. Alongside my amazing friend Carlene, we'll be running to raise money for these beautiful dogs - one of which is Geoffrey. Geoffrey came into Carlene's life from Garbo's after he was found as a stray at 18 months old. Whilst Carlene will never know what Geoff went through before coming into her life, he is the sweetest boy, full of energy and the best friend to anyone he meets.

By donating, you'll be helping Garbo's to contiune to rescue, provide care, and find loving homes for these dogs. They’ve known the worst of humans - help us show them the best!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
