If you know me, you'll know that I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with running! But this autumn, I've decided to set myself a challenge and run 100 miles to raise money for Dogs Trust, a charity that is very close to my heart.

I've always loved dogs and have grown up with them throughout my life. Now I have my very own Labrador sidekick, Buddy, who never fails to remind me just how much joy, companionship, and unconditional love dogs bring to our lives. That's why I wanted to do something to support a charity that works so hard to give every dog the chance of a happy, loving home.

As I'll be away during the last week of October, I'll actually be getting a head start and beginning the challenge in the final week of September, giving myself a little extra time to reach the 100-mile goal.

Dogs Trust gives stray and abandoned dogs a second chance at a brighter future with responsible and caring new owners. Last year alone, they cared for over 11,700 dogs across the UK and Ireland, rehomed almost 10,000 dogs, and helped provide nearly one million meals for dogs in need through FareShare foodbanks.

As the cost of living continues to put pressure on many pet owners, the support Dogs Trust provides is more important than ever. Their incredible work is only possible thanks to donations from people like us.

Every mile I run will be for the dogs waiting for their forever home. If you're able to make a donation, no matter how small, I'd be incredibly grateful. Your support will help Dogs Trust continue providing care, rehabilitation, and second chances to dogs that need it most.

Thank you for helping me reach my goal and supporting this fantastic cause. 🐶❤️
