Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  Whilst I secured a place through the ballot, I approached the Donkey Sanctuary asking if I could raise money for them. I have loved donkeys for as long as I can remember. They are hardworking, stoical animals and these traits are often taken advantage of around the world.

Many donkeys and mules are used to carry extreme loads with little food or water and work for hours on end in extreme temperatures.  The Donkey Sanctuary works hard to educate and train the owners in the care of these beautiful animals and all the work they do relies purely on donations, so every penny counts.

I am going to be running 26.2 miles but these loyal, hardworking animals have life much harder and I will be remembering that when the race gets tough.  Please donate as much as you can and I will be keeping you all up to date with my training plan and race day de-brief.  I will be blogging my training runs up here in Yorkshire to keep you all up to date (link to follow)

Thank you all so much for your donations and keep an eye out for my blog.

All the best Tom
