Hello.

Some of you know that last year I ran the Great East to prove to myself I could do it and to raise funds for Ipswich Cats Protection. This branch is run entirely by volunteers and every penny raised will help the cats and kittens. My training was not going to plan and I was on the verge of withdrawing until I read an article on how many cats and kittens have been helped this year. If these lovely volunteers can put this much work in, then I can drag myself round this half marathon. Please sponsor me - any amount, however small, is gratefully received. Thank You!
