Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running my first ever marathon for Brooke and my aim is to raise £2,000 for this important charity.

Brooke are an international charity that protects and improves the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules. They work in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Brooke educates horse owners about horse welfare whilst recognising the importance of these animals in helping their owners work their way out of poverty.

I’m running for Brooke because, as a member of the Household Cavalry I have worked with horses myself and have a great respect and admiration for them. Cavalry horses are extremely well cared for, but 100 million horses across the world are currently working in harsh and punishing environments and funds are needed to help prevent their suffering.

Brooke launched the EveryHorseRemembered# campaign in November 2017 to recognise the contribution of the 8 million Horses, Donkeys and Mules who died in World War I as well as remembering the suffering of present day working horses. It is an honour to run for this cause.

I've never run a marathon before. Training stepped up a gear in the new year with lots of early morning runs and then longer runs at weekends.

While the training is tough it is such a fantastic opportunity to raise a lot of money for a great cause and I will be inspired by the incredible work Brooke do.

So please please dig deep and donate now to make a difference to the welfare of horses, donkeys and mules worldwide.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
