Story

Thank you so much for visiting my just giving page!

As some of you may not be aware I am currently chair of Chelmsford Tindal Ladies Circle, part of a National association of Ladies Circles and Round Tables. One part of the role as chair is choosing a nominated charity for you to support. Given my job as a Veterinary Nurse at Vets Now, and my love for all things feline, it probably comes as no surprise to those who know me that my chosen charity is Cats Protection. Specifically my local branch of Chelmsford  as I have seen first hand the amazing work they do.

The story goes that one slightly drunken night in Manchester back in June, myself and another Tindal member-Kirstie Robertson, hatched a crazy scheme as to how we could raise the much needed funds for our chosen charity. Although not fully serious or sober at the time,  this scheme has somehow snowballed into the two of us signing ourselves up to the London Landmarks Half Marathon next March 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would like to point out at this point that I do not run, cannot run, running is my idea of hell on earth! So when I say I’m committed to doing this to help the cats of Cats Protection, what I actually mean is, I will be putting myself through literal hell and back to get myself in shape so that I can finish the 21+km! And if that’s not worth some sponsorship, then I don’t know what is! 

Absolutely any amount will help me reach my goal, so whether you can spare 50p or £50 it will all be going towards a fantastic cause. 

Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity. Their vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs. Cats Protection has simple and clear objectives to help cats:

Homing - Finding good homes for cats in need

Neutering - Supporting and encouraging the neutering of cats

Information - Improving people’s understanding of cats and their care

Achieving this vision is only made possible due to kind cat lovers who support their work. Visit www.cats.org.uk for more information.
