Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For those that don't know me, no apologies ... I am a bit of a nutter! 

MK Half marathon/'s, Great North Run, Tough Mudder, 100km Oxfam/Gurkha Trailwalker ... I do definately like a challenge and take myself out of my comfort zone.

So my 2021 challenge .... I'm running my first ever Marathon to raise awareness and to support a charity that are relentless at ending the unnecessary suffering caused by factory farming.

Animals are reared for food around the world in conditions that are unnatural and cause immense suffering.

Compassion in world farming campaign for tougher animal welfare legislation and enforcement of existing laws. They persuade food companies to choose higher welfare products and they expose the true impact of factory farming - from animal suffering to environmental pollution, damage to human health and devastation of wildlife.

We have for over 10 years rescued chickens, who without this lifeline, would have been disposed of at the age of 72 weeks old because they are deemed to have reached their peak performance as egg layers. 

We see our rescue girls as individual characters and an extension of our family. Elmo doesn't ask to be cuddled she just hop's up on my lap and goes to sleep. Scarlet run's over to me every morning for a cuddle before she eats breakfast and has a goodnight cuddle before she goes to bed. 

Since writing my original post Elmo sadly passed away. If you know us, you will know we did everything possible to save her and its personally heartbreaking I couldn't save her. I miss her every single day but I do hope we did make a difference to her life.

Please support me in raising as much awareness and money for this fabulous charity who without, our animals, would not have a voice. Thank-you!
