I'm running the York 10k because I want to support the Work of the RSPCA York, Harrogate & District Branch, who never give up on a re-homeable animal.

Animals come in to them in three main ways: Brought in by inspectors after the animals have been rescued from a unfit environment; handed over by owners who can no longer meets the needs of their pet and animals that are found injured or abandoned brought in by concerned members of the public.

The York Animal Home, are an independent charity and primarily self funded. The money they spend on our work at the home is raised in York, Harrogate and surrounding areas.

They rehome on average 400 animals a year into their forever homes. Please help show these animals a life they deserve.
