Story
At Millington's we don't like to pester our supporters constantly for donations. We want you to enjoy our content without having to worry you havn’t donated every other week. Once a year however we set ourselves a crazy challenge, with an equally crazy target amount! First it was 50 miles, then it was 100 miles - this time we're stepping it up a gear!
Founder Jake is out of action after a knee operation so its up to volunteer Josh to step up and he isn't doing things by halves. Josh will attempt to run a marathon a day, for 31 consecutive days - despite still working his full time job!!
The total distance run during the 31 days will be 812.2 miles, further than John O'Groats to Lands End 🤯
Our fundraising target is an eye watering and ambitious £31,000 (All receipts will be posted to this site). Can you help us get there?
The main use of our funding will be to install a tarmac pathway throughout the sanctuary, enabling us to welcome all animal lovers who may have accessibility issues to the sanctuary. We also intend to purchase new equipment to enable us to safely handle larger animals in need. Every spare penny raised will go towards the rescue and rehabilitation of animals
Sanctuary life is tough, and costly - below is an example of our spending for the month of May. With your help we can continue to rescue even more animals in need ❤️
£2200 - Fly control for animals, mainly the cows who are harassed in this weather
£1800 - Two new introduction enclosures as we have taken on animals that aren’t currently getting along
£960 - Aprils Vet Bill
£1500 - Rent
£600 - Other Bills
£1250 - Feeds/Fruit/Vegetables
For you runners out there, we want you to join us! Whether its running alongside Josh after work one day or doing your own sponsored 5k they all count. Every runner that helps us towards our target will receive their very own Millingtons tee and medal!
