100 Miles in October Challenge

Help me reach my goal of £150

100 Miles in October with Dogs Trust 🐾

This October, I'm challenging myself to run 100 miles for Dogs Trust. Every mile I complete will help raise vital funds for dogs in need, giving them the care, support, and second chance they deserve.

Without Dogs Trust, I never would have met my boy Hammy. Raising money is my way of saying thank you for bringing him into my life. We miss you, sweet boy 🤎

The aim of Dogs Trust is to give stray and abandoned dogs a second chance at a brighter future with responsible, caring new owners.

Last year, they cared for 11,707 dogs across the UK and Ireland, rehomed 9,914 dogs, and helped deliver nearly one million meals to dogs in need through Fareshare foodbanks.

Your support helps them continue this vital work, especially as the cost of living crisis adds increased pressures for dog owners. The work of Dogs Trust is only possible with donations like yours. If you’re able to make a small contribution, I know they’d be incredibly grateful – and so would the dogs!

Thank you for helping me reach my goal 🐾

Day 12 and 13 - 5.23 miles complete 🐾🌧️

A walk in the rain after work on Monday and a short gym session tonight, that’s a few more miles done 🏃‍♀️
My knees have been a little stiff and painful recently so focused on some strengthening exercises tonight. I’ve never done this much exercise so consistently and every day, let alone running! I’m feeling good for it but definitely need to focus on looking after my body 💪

We’re at £688!! Thank you to everyone that has donated so far, let’s keep going!!

Please help however you can, I would love to raise as much money as possible for Dogs Trust in memory of my sweet boy Hammy. Even if you can’t donate, sharing my fundraiser would be absolutely amazing. 💛🖤

Day 11 - 9.63 miles done over the last few days!

Day 11 - 9.63 miles done over the last few days! 

A beautiful mix of treadmill running, walks with friends, dogs and my mum 🥰

A little under my target still by this point, I was hoping to achieve more miles at the gym tonight but I finished work at 5pm and it shut at 6pm! I very much rushed down to run what I could. We’re quickly losing daylight in the evening now so looks like I’ll need to start waking up earlier..

Please please please share, donate or talk about this fundraiser to anyone that loves dogs! Every penny goes towards caring for those gorgeous little faces and putting the work in to finding their forever homes. 

The pain I feel after losing Hammy will stay with me forever. He took a part of me with him, but I am so very grateful that we got to call him ours.
Please do what you can to help create more loving families like the one we were able to have 🐾💛🖤

Day 6 - Short Gym Session - 1.7 miles 🐾

Not the best achievement unfortunately 🥲 
A bit of running and walking on the treadmill after work. My energy levels were quite low and I couldn’t shake a stitch..
Really hoping to make up for it in the upcoming evenings 🤞
Read Toffee’s story to see how your money can help give a chance to those struggling the most. 💛🖤

Day 3, 4 and 5 - 12 more miles achieved! 💛🤎🐾

After a day of rest on Saturday, my friends and I did a big fat walk of around 10 miles 👏 Also joined by Darren and Annie raising money for Breast Cancer. 
Cole and I managed a short walk around our village tonight to try and stay on target, loved exploring the area around our new house. 
The goal of this fundraiser is to support all the wonderful dogs that are looking for their forever homes. Please share or donate, whatever you are happy and able to contribute. I can’t wait to tell you more about the dogs your money is helping. 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart as always 💛🖤

Day 2 - I have a cold! 🥲

Yesterday I felt truly rubbish after work so unfortunately no miles were achieved on Day 1, I felt so sad to not start this challenge on a good note. 
Even with feeling rubbish today, I managed to get 4 miles done 👏
A mixture of running and walking on the treadmill and I felt good. 
I’m feeling hopeful to keeping this illness at bay and catching up over the weekend 🤞
Keeping the thought of Hammy close during this month, and at all times 🤎

Day 1! 🏁🎊

Good morning everyone! Today is the start of the 100 miles in October challenge for Dogs Trust. 🐾
I can’t believe the first day is already here. I am so excited (and scared) to see what this month brings. Please do what you can to help raise money and awareness for this fundraiser. 
I’ll get back to you all soon. Good luck to everyone taking part! 🤎
