Only dogs could get me to unretire my running shoes 😅

I used to run, I ran a lot. I ran marathons and ultra marathons. However, I had to stop when my arthritic body gave up on me and it became too painful.

However, my discomfort is nothing compared to the pain that our country's strays go through daily, in their hundreds. Team Bruno's work tirelessly to try and lessen that pain, but we can't continue to operate without much needed funds. Small charities do not get any help from the government, and so we rely on donations and fundraising. This has become harder and harder in recent times, meaning that we are struggling, using more and more of our own money and - most importantly - we are unable to help as many dogs.

So I'm lacing up my trainers, forcing Sam along for the ride (as usual) and hoping that I can raise some much needed funds for a cause that I am deeply passionate about.

Many of you follow my transport and fostering stories. Believe me when I tell you that there is so much that I do not share, that is just too heartbreaking to pass on.

You can help. Please ask me if you want to get involved in rescue. There are lots of things that you could do to help. And if you have a few pounds to spare, please donate and know that it makes a huge difference to our dogs.

Thank you for reading 💕
