Story

Hi my names Kirsty and I’m a runner looking to tackle my FIRST marathon 🤩eeek!

I’m running the marathon to support Service Dogs UK who do amazing work with veterans and emergency service workers, partnering rescue dogs to help deal with their trauma

They do all this with only a small team of 20 volunteers doing mighty work and I would love to raise money to support them and the work they do!

This cause is close to my heart as they help emergency workers who’s trauma I’ve seen through my sister and her friends work as well as with members of the armed forces who I’ve met and learnt from in my RAF Air Cadet career!

Any thing you can give to support me would mean the world 🤍🫶🏻
