I’m running 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.

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 🐾

Quarter Target Reached!

Very happy to have reached the quarter (25mile) target ahead of schedule! 

I am continuing to do a mixture of running, walking and cycling in an aim to pace myself and avoid any injury. Drastically increasing running load can be a killer for your knees and shins, so a balance is important if we are going to see this challenge through! 

Thank you for the continued support and donations to this wonderful cause! 

The first 3.2 miles complete!

Bisous and I ran our first 3.2 miles (5.15km) which is roughly our daily target throughout the month. I ran the fist 1.5miles myself and then Bisous hooked up to the canicross harness for the rest. 
Starting the month strong! 

Practice makes perfect

Bisous and I counting to train and get the miles in while we wait for Oct 1st!

I'm doing it! 🏃‍♀️🐕

I am running 100 miles in October in an aim to raise some money for the Dogs Trust!

I used to love running, however following injuring my back in 2023, I lost my ability, confidence and then my fitness. This is a big challenge for me but it is something I am determined to do, after years of treatment and physio, I am hoping that I am finally in a place to challenge myself physically again.

Recently Bisous and I have taken up canicross, I feel so much more confident when I run with him. So, although I won't force Bisous to run all 100 miles, I know he will join me for a good few as we continue to practice our new sport together (also his pulling force does really help me up hills!) 🧡
