Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.PLEASE DON'T BE PUT OFF DONATING BY THE FACT THAT I'VE EXCEEDED MY TARGET. VALE WILDLIFE HAVE AVERAGE RUNNING COST OF £5000 A WEEK SO YOUR DONATIONS ARE NEEDED. 13.1 miles is a long way to run when you get to my age!!! I will have been building up to this for 18 months and been in serious training for the past 3 months. I've never been a runner and when I did a mini triathlon a few years ago 3 miles nearly finished me off!

Vale Wildlife Hospital and Rehabilitation centre is fantastic local charity of which I am a Trustee.They care for injured wildlife which comes to them from a large area of the Midlands as well as running courses to educate others in animal care and advising people further afield on how to deal with casualties. Have a look at their website www.vwr.org.uk  for more information. They rely on  donations and takings from their charity shop as they receive no funding, costs of giving the animals the best possible treatment are high and, like all small charities they have been hit by the recession.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for Vale Wildlife..

A lot of the injuries to animals are caused by mankind, lets do our bit to reduce their suffering, please dig deep and donate now.
