I’m Running 100 Miles in October for Dogs Trust - My Rescue Dog Journey 🐾

100 MILES FOR DOGS TRUST - OCTOBER CHALLENGE

This October, I’m challenging myself to cover 100 miles for Dogs Trust - something that is definitely going to test my little legs!

Dogs Trust has become incredibly personal to me over the last few years. After suddenly losing Sid, my much-loved Dogs Trust dog, I’ve seen first-hand just how deeply a rescue dog can become part of your life. Losing him was heartbreaking, but it also made me realise even more how important the work of rescue organisations like Dogs Trust is.

Since then, we’ve continued our journey with rescue dogs by fostering, opening our home to dogs who need a safe place while they wait for their forever families. Fostering has given us the chance to see the other side of rescue - the nerves, the challenges, the little moments of trust, and ultimately the joy of watching a dog start to come out of their shell and realise they’re safe and loved.

It’s made me even more passionate about supporting Dogs Trust and the incredible work they do for dogs who have been abandoned, neglected or simply need another chance.

So, this October, I’m putting myself through 100 miles to raise money for them.

I’ll be running the majority of the miles, but I’m absolutely going to be including some walking too… because let’s be honest, my little legs have limits! Every mile counts, whether I’m running it, walking it, or probably questioning my life choices halfway through it.

Dogs Trust works to give stray and abandoned dogs a second chance at a brighter future with responsible, caring owners. Last year alone, they cared for 11,707 dogs across the UK and Ireland and rehomed 9,914 dogs, alongside providing vital support to dogs and their owners who are struggling.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps Dogs Trust continue giving dogs the care, safety and second chances they deserve.

If you’re able to make a small donation and help me reach my 100-mile goal, I - and most importantly the dogs - would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for supporting me, supporting Dogs Trust, and helping give more dogs the chance of the happy ending they deserve.

100 miles. One very determined pair of little legs. Lots of doggy motivation. 🐕
