In May 2027, I'll be giving my all and taking on the Edinburgh Marathon... 26.2 miles through one of the world's most beautiful cities. But this run is about so much more than the human feat of achievement taken on by 1000s.

I'm raising money for rescued and abandoned farm animals in care, a charity working tirelessly to end the suffering of animals and build a kinder, more compassionate world.

Every step I take will be a step toward a future where animals are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Training is tough, but knowing that your support could make a real difference to animal lives makes every mile of training and hour of dedication worth it. Whether you can give a little or a lot - and we know times are tough -it all adds up, and it all matters.

Thanks so much for reading this far.
