I've been lucky enough to have 2 cats in my life, both came from the Cats Protection - Abee, our family cat when I was younger, and George, our current ball of fluff. The charity does great work homing and caring for cats across the country and the pandemic has put even more strain on animal welfare charities. 

I'll be running the London Marathon on 2 October and the Great North Run on 11 September to raise money for this great charity. Whilst I've always been active, running distances isn't something I've done in a long time, so there will be months of hard training ahead.

Homing - Finding good homes for cats in need
