Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am very excited to be running The London Marathon on 2nd October 2022 for the RSPCA.

I worked for the RSPCA for 15 years and am extremely passionate about the work they do for animal welfare. I witnessed first hand, far too many times, the results of neglect, injury and abuse inflicted on animals. There is a vast amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome and release many thousands of animals each year, and I was very proud to play my small part.

An example of the commitment made to every individual animal is my dog Bibi. She was a very underweight and sickly dog when she was brought into West Hatch Animal Centre by an RSPCA inspector. It took many extensive investigations from the veterinary department before she was finally diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. She was so ill at one point it was touch and go whether she'd make it. But she pulled through and with ongoing treatment and support has thrived to live a very happy and fun filled further 6 years, supported by the Friends of West Hatch RSPCA.

Bibi gets very excited when she sees me putting on my running gear as she knows there's a chance of some extra fun in her day, (a run along the beach is her favorite as it often combines a swim!).

Please help me raise as mush as possible to help other animals like Bibi.

To get me started on my fundraising, on Monday 28th February 2022 I did a sponsored head shave. It took place at my place of work at Royal Mail Tiverton Delivery Office and a fellow postie did the honours!
