The run is over! I know that all of your kind donations are helping to prevent cruelty to animals. Thank u so much everyone! The race was hard work and was so hot it wasn't funny! Olympic hopeful Mo Farah won of course! We'll beat him next time!!!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I know I'm doing two runs quite close together, so thank you for looking at this page too! It's another 10k run along a fairly testing route dodging the London traffic in all it's glory.
I'm running for the RSPCA because that is where we got Monty from, our glorious cat, who was found walking the streets of Tottenham. They took him in and tried to care for him but he was so frightened that they had to put him with a foster carer in Finsbury Park, which is where we picked him up from. The RSPCA did not charge any money for all the work and attention they gave Monty, but we gave them a donation instead. Without these donations they can't help animals like Monty. Monty is happy now, and he's got a new friend called Arthur, but if it wasn't for the RSPCA he probably wouldn't have made it.
Here's what the RSPCA do;
What we do
Improving animal welfare
Everything we do supports our goal of preventing cruelty.
Inevitably there are some tough decisions we have to make along the way, but all our successes drive us to continue making life changing differences.
We work tirelessly to rescue domestic animals and wildlife.
Our wildlife centres rehabilitate animals who can be returned to the wild.
We work with the government and public to prevent cruelty.
We can prosecute those who neglect the law, on behalf of defenceless animals.
Our dedicated vets and mobile clinics enable us to reach pets who might otherwise go untreated.
