As most of you know, I'm incredibly passionate about rabbits and improving their welfare. After adopting my first rabbit Biscuit back in 2013, I've grown to learn how complex these little fluffs really are. Despite being the UK's 3rd most common pet, rabbits needs are so often misunderstood and sadly this leads to widespread neglect. Far too many rabbits are confined to small, outdated hutches and cages, never knowing the freedom to run and explore. That’s why, on 7th September 2025, I will be running for the rabbits who can't.

Ivy Dene Rabbit Rescue works tirelessly to provide shelter, space, medical care, and companionship to the rabbits fortunate enough to make it into rescue. Through their efforts, these amazing animals are given a second chance at life. Your donation will allow Ivy Dene to continue their vital work, rescuing and rehabilitating rabbits, whilst also educating people about their needs.

I'm no runner by any stretch of the imagination and up until this point I've never ran more than 5km, so the Great North Run will be a big challenge to say the least! Please consider donating and join me in making a lasting impact on the lives of these precious souls.
