Story
Suzy at Glynneath Guinea Pig Rescue works day and night to rescue, rehab and rehome guinea pigs. She has a constant stream of neglected squeepers through her doors, but when they leave they are happy and healthy and off to lovely homes.
What's that got to do with me? Well for the entireity of December I am going to run (or walk) at least 3km a day. Depending on practicality, safety and health it will switch between running and walking, but always be in one lump. It isn't quite climbing everest but for someone terribly out of shape it is a massive deal. Especially every day! And it is cold, and dark!
I'll be blogging my terribly sweaty journey so you can follow me remembering how legs work.
I'm hoping that my suffering will inspire you to donate to help these little peegs. Many require operations or medications which can be extremely expensive. Other guinea pigs at the rescue are deemed lifers and stay at the rescue due to issues too expensive or complicated for new owners, so they also have their own monthly bills. Anything we can do to help this brilliant organisation is amazing, as every penny really does help. Every single penny that is received here will go direct to the rescue as soon as funds are collected. This money is then used int he vet bill fund.
Not only does the rescue do good by saving the peegs, they do good in making other people's lives better. I live with three guinea pigs that were from Glynneath, and they've made me ridiculously happy. So she really is a purveyor of all things good.
THANKYOU!

7 years agoDay 31! Final Day! I did it! Just a short update as I am staying up in the valleys with my partner. After I got ill and then the car broke down, we arrived here late last night via train! Walked to a pub for some grub and got caught in hail. Pub was only 2.3km away so I made the chap walk with me in the hail even further until we'd made the figure. Proper update Tuesday when I am back. If you were waiting til I'd done it to donate - go go go I did it! I did It!! https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/running-for-peegs

7 years agoDay 30! Feel like death. Got up at 5 to come back to Wales in good time, during which I got really ill on the train - shivering and sweating and struggling to breathe. Bad cold thingy. By the time I got to Cardiff I went to bed. Didn't think I was going to make it and really didn't want to go out in the rain so went for the ultimate cop out of walking around for what felt like forever! Did it though! One day left! https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/running-for-peegs
