100 Miles for Second Chances

🐾 I’m running 100 Miles in October for Dogs Trust! 🐾

And yes… running.
I can barely run for the bus, so honestly this could be interesting. 😂

But there’s a very special reason I’m doing it.

Our girl Roo came to us through Dogs Trust Glasgow after having a really difficult start to life. She deserved so much better than the hand she was dealt as a puppy, and Dogs Trust helped give her exactly that — a second chance.

Now she gets to live the life she always should have had: loved, spoiled, safe and very much part of our family. ❤️🐶

So this October, I’m challenging myself to somehow drag myself through 100 miles to raise money for the charity that helped Roo, and thousands of dogs just like her, find their way to a happier life.

Dogs Trust gives stray, abandoned and vulnerable dogs the care, support and time they need before helping them find responsible, loving homes.

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

Every mile I manage — whether I’m running, jogging, shuffling or questioning every life decision that led me here — will be for dogs who deserve the same second chance Roo was given. 🥹🐾

If you’re able to donate even a couple of pounds, it genuinely means so much. Every donation helps Dogs Trust continue being there for dogs and owners who need them.

100 miles. One very unfit dog mum. One extremely good reason. 💛

From Roo, and for all the dogs still waiting for their second chance thank you 🐾🐶

Thank you so much for supporting me. ❤️

Challenge done and dusted finished with spooky season with my girl

Post seven miles sit in the car and try not melt 💀

40 Miles done...60Miles to go 🐾🏃🏻‍♀️


Somehow, I've managed to clock up 40 miles for my 100 Miles in October challenge for Dogs Trust! 🐶💛

Between 13-hour nursing shifts, volunteering, everyday life, four dogs and trying to keep the house from looking like a crime scene, I'm still getting those miles in!

Am I fast? Absolutely not. 😂 Am I tired? Permanently. Am I questioning my life choices? Regularly.

But I'm showing up, getting it done and reminding myself why I started. Every mile is for the dogs who deserve their own second chance, just like my Roo. 🐾❤️


The legs are complaining, but we're not giving up now! 💪🏻

Thank you to everyone who's donated, encouraged me or watched me slowly turn into a very sweaty running enthusiast. 😂❤️

10 miles done and shorts were a bad choice

5 miles down… only 95 to go 😭🐾

First five miles of my 100 Miles in October for Dogs Trust DONE ✅


Considering I would not even run for the ice cream van and I have voluntarily signing up to do 100 miles in October feels like a questionable decision at best. 😂

Even the coworkers are like you YOU are going to run you don’t run… 

Today’s effort was a glamorous mix of questionable jogging, heavy breathing and wondering how the back of my knees can sweat 

But the first five miles done  ✅ and it’s all for Dogs Trust helping more dogs get the second chance they deserve. 🖤🐶


Legs done ☑️ walked into the wall post run ☑️ 5/100 miles done ☑️ 

If anyone wants to sponsor this absolute nonsense, I’d be very grateful 😂🐾


Our Rescue Roo

Before Roo came home with us, she’d already had a start in life that no dog deserves. By the time she arrived at Dogs Trust Glasgow, she needed exactly what every frightened or vulnerable dog needs: somewhere safe, people who would be patient with her, and the chance to start again. And eventually, that second chance became us. ❤️ We brought Roo home and she very quickly stopped being “the rescue dog” and simply became our Roo. She’s now loved beyond belief, spoiled probably more than she should be, taken on adventures, given far too many treats and has fully settled into her role as one of the bosses of the house. Looking at her now, it can be easy to forget that her life could have looked completely different. That’s one of the reasons Dogs Trust means so much to me. They don’t just find dogs homes. They give dogs time. They give them safety. They help them recover, learn to trust and eventually find the people who are going to love them for the rest of their lives. Roo got that chance. There are still so many dogs waiting for theirs. So, despite the minor issue that I am absolutely not a runner and generally consider running for the bus an extreme sport, I’ve somehow signed myself up to complete 100 miles in October for Dogs Trust. 😂 Every mile is going to remind me why I’m doing it. For Roo. For the dogs currently curled up in kennels waiting for someone to choose them. For the nervous dogs learning that people can be kind. For the older dogs who have been overlooked. And for every dog whose life can be completely changed because somebody cared enough to give them another chance. I might not enjoy all 100 miles… But Roo was worth the second chance she was given. And hopefully the money I raise can help another dog get theirs too. 🐾💛
