Every day, billions of animals experience unbearable suffering. At World Animal Protection, we work to end cruelty and give every animal the life they deserve — because every animal’s life counts.

For over 50 years, we’ve been creating change to protect animals on farms and in the wild, focusing on where we can make the biggest difference.

This year, I’m taking on a challenge no one (least of all me) saw coming - running a full marathon. I’ve never been a runner, and I was always the first to pull a sicky on cross-country day, so 42km will be a real test. But if it helps protect animals from suffering, every step, blister, and aching muscle will be worth it.
