As many of you probably know I like to run and in particular marathons.  Some of you might also know that I’m passionate about the welfare of animals.  I plan to run Snowdonia Marathon on 29 October and then Dublin on 31 October 2011.  2 marathons in 2 days just seemed too big of a fund raising opportunity to miss and so I thought this would be a good time for me to do a first and raise some money for a charity dear to my heart – Cats Protection.  A branch has recently been formed in Coleraine.  The group is hopeful that through fundraising events that enough money can be raised to build a shelter locally to care for unwanted cats and kittens in our area.

I have attached a few pictures of me and my cats – one of which I actually own – the rest abandoned and nowhere to go. 

I’m going the extra mile or 2 so please, help me to raise funds for a much needed rescue centre.
