Hi Guys!

As most of you know we are running the New York Marathon on November 6th.  We have been training since July and so to add some motivation at this stage we have decided to raise some money for an excellent cause as part of our challenge.

Since we are both animal lovers it will come as no surprise that we have chosen to support the WSPA.  The WSPA exists to tackle animal cruelty across the globe. One example is their ongoing work to end bear farming in Asia.  Here, bears are confined to tiny metal cages for many years (or until they die from malnourishment) so that bile can be extracted from their gall bladders and sold for use in some Traditional Asian Medicine.  Inhumane methods are used to extract the bile which causes severe pain and trauma to the bears. It is clear that their suffering is intense.  Another example is their work against the incredibly cruel dog and cat meat trade.  These are issues that we both feel very strongly about and so we are hugely grateful for your donations!!!

Thank you so much for your support, 

Ben & Rosie Xxxx
