Every penny donated will help the Vegan Society continue its work in helping animals by raising awareness of veganism and by informing and educating the public and businesses.

As well as fundraising, each time I go out running wearing kit that mentions veganism, anyone who spots me will hopefully see that being vegan doesn't mean I'm going to be ill or weak or simply "existing" in the world.  I've been vegan since April 2019 and have never felt physically healthier in my life; my only regret is not doing it sooner!

I started running regularly in 2017, and within 15 months I went from weekly 5ks to doing a 10k, then a half marathon, then my first marathon.  I've since run up to marathon distance on multiple occasions, but I've been struggling to get back into my running habit since Covid, so I'm taking this challenge as an opportunity to do just that!

For the #VeganAndThriving challenge I have pledged that during the month of October 2021 I will run a total of 77 miles!

Thank you for whatever support you can give xx
