I promised my wife last year I would do the great north run after going down to see my 50 year old mother in law take it on.Now i couldn't see anyway of getting myself motivated to put myself through 13 miles of hell other than to try and raise some money for something i love.My passion to most that know me is animals and Manchester United,and since last year I have spent as much time as I can manage going to Brysons and helping out in anyway I can.Tracey and the team do an excellent job and show love and care for these animals.Doing all they can to rehome them as soon as possible and giving them the best life they can whilst at the shelter.All the team are so passionate and helpful,and I would like,on behalf of all the animals they help,all the animal lovers,and as we have an ex Bryson resident in our house now, all the people who found a little fluffy friend for life as a result of Brysons, raise as much money as possible to help these guys keep doing an amazing job and above all show them our appreciation and show every single animal that passes through the doors that we animal lovers are one big team and will always do our best to help.I have no limit to how much I wish to raise as every single penny helps these guys so all I ask is if you are an animal lover please donate as much as feels right for you.i would love to raise a lot more than my target,but the first goal is to get there.

I'll keep you guys updated as to my progress and news from the shelter.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.now I best finish my pizza and go for a run.cheers guys.
