15 months ago running a marathon wouldn’t have even crossed my mind. But here I am 15 month later and almost 9 stone loss signing up to run a marathon. Sharing my weight loss journey has been incredibly inspiring for me. The support from people who have invested in my journey and been with me from the start has kept me going and by running this marathon this is my challenge to myself to show people that anything is possible. I hope to raise as much money as possible for charity at the same time.

I have 2 Cockapoos who are my world, Huxley and Winnie and so running a marathon to support such a wonderful charity is just amazing and I’m so excited for the journey ahead to become marathon ready. Let’s do this everyone, I need your support now more than ever, so thank you and dig deep and let’s smash this fundraising target ❤️

Battersea will always be here for every dog and cat.

Battersea takes dogs and cats in, gives them the expert care they need and finds them new homes that are just right for them.

They help pet owners make informed choices, provide training advice, and campaign for changes in the law.

And they help other rescue centres and charities at home and abroad because they want to be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need Battersea.
