I am thrilled and honoured to be participating in the 2024 London Marathon to raise funds for the Blue Cross, a charity that is close to my heart. I'll be running in the memories of two very much loved cats of my friends who had close links with the Blue Cross, Billy Urquhart and Monty Faunch, both of whom very sadly crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year, leaving big paw prints on so many hearts.

As a passionate animal lover, I believe that every pet deserves a loving home and proper care. The Blue Cross works tirelessly to provide shelter, medical care, and adoption services for pets in need.

But they can't do it alone. That's why I'm asking for your help in reaching my fundraising goal of £2,000. Your donation will make a real difference in the lives of these animals and help ensure that they receive the care they deserve.

Join me in making a positive impact on the lives of the animals the Blue Cross helps, by donating today through JustGiving. Your contribution is secure and will go directly to the Blue Cross.

As always, I'm so thankful you for your kindness and support!

Maria 💙💙
