Story

On 22nd April 2018 I will be taking on a challenge I never thought I would - the London Marathon.

I am running the gruelling 26.2 mile Marathon course in aid of the Dogs Trust.

In 2010 I adopted Vince Vaughan from the Dogs Trust in Evesham. Vince was found wandering the streets as a stray. He was taken into the Dogs Trust and cared for until we gave him his forever home and he gave us more than we could ever imagine.

To me and my family he is more than a pet. He makes us smile everyday, he gives amazing cuddles, and has got us all through one of the worst times of our lives without even realising.

Every dog has so much to give and deserves their forever home.

Last year the Dogs Trust cared for 15,300 dogs from all sorts of backgrounds including strays like Vince, abandoned dogs, and abused dogs. 

Their mission is to bring about the day when all Dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction. 

I will be running (and putting myself through a lot of pain) to help the Dogs Trust work closer towards this mission so dogs like Vince can find their deserved happy and carefree lives too. 

Please support me by donating whatever you can towards this wonderful charity. 

From myself, Vince, and Dogs everywhere, thank you so, so much (Woof!) xxx
