I've always wanted to go to Africa and do a Safari, so when I saw the article about this marathon in a running magazine about 8 years ago - I knew I just HAD to do it! Sadly I broke my foot the year I originally planned to do it, and so a mere 5 years later - I finally decided I couldn't put this off any longer, and I just had to go for it!

I have decided to raise money in support of Canine Partners, who are a truly amazing charity that train dogs to help support people with physical disabilities. The work they do is so inspiring, and the partnerships they create between people and dogs are just incredible. 

Please do visit their website at www.caninepartners.org.uk and the website for my marathon www.big-five-marathon.com if you wish to be truly inspired by how people and dogs work amazingly together, and how beautiful the natural wildlife is in our amazing world. 

Any amount and all donations are greatly welcomed and I thank you for your generosity.
