Story

Welcome to my JustGiving page.

 

I’m in the process of training to run the Virgin Money London Marathon in October – my first ever marathon! I am running to raise vital funds for PDSA, the UK’s largest vet charity that helps sick and injured pets whose owners struggle to pay for vet care.

 

Anyone that knows me will know that my dogs are my world, and I utterly adore them. They are my best friends, and I believe they have taught me what unconditional love is. Cole, my St.Bernard, is nearly thirteen and suffers from a heart condition and is on a lot of medication. My other St Bernard, Paige, is blind and requires lots of extra care to manage that, and I recently lost my beloved thirteen-year-old dog, Phoebe. Losing her has been utterly devastating, but she will always remain in my heart, and I’ll cherish all the memories we had together.

 

Not only have my dogs taught me just how important pets are, but they’ve made me see how heartbreaking it would be if I were unable to afford the care they’ve needed over the years. I know how much vet bills cost, and I can’t imagine someone’s much-loved pet going through the same and not being able to afford treatment when they need it most. That’s why this charity is so close to my heart. 

 

However big or small, your donation will make a huge difference to the lives of poorly pets and their owners who have nowhere else to turn.

 

Your support is hugely appreciated from myself and the PDSA team x
