Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I had an operation to my foot which meant that I was unable to walk properly and pain-free for over a year.  After my recovery I decided I wanted to run.  This was just over 2 years ago.  At first it was just short distances and then I built it up.  From there I entered a couple of races and competitions, just to keep my interest going.  I have now run 2 half marathons and for some reason I have decided to join my husband and daughter in running the Paris Marathon.  This is going to be the toughest challenge I have ever done and I have been training for it since the start of the year.  

I want to run my marathon (most likely the only one I ever do because it hurts... a lot) for a good cause.  Border Terrier Welfare is a charity very close to my heart.  I know the volunteers work tirelessly to help Borders that have fallen on hard times, usually through no fault of their own.  Circumstances occur and dogs need to find a new 'forever home', Border Terrier Welfare do their utmost to do this as quickly as possible trying to match suitable dogs to suitable people.

I fell in love with Border Terriers over 30 years ago and they have given me so much pleasure that I now want to give something to less fortunate dogs - a better chance at a better life.

I hope that you can support me to take on this tough challenge and help some lovely Border Terriers along the way.
