I’m taking part in the Bournemouth Half Marathon with Dogs Trust!

I'm raising money for dogs in need by running the Bournemouth Half Marathon in aid of Dogs Trust.

I have decided to do this in memory of my little boy Alan, who I sadly had to say goodbye to after he lost the ability to use his back legs. He brought so much joy to my life and to anyone who met him. For a little sausage dog, he had so much character and truly was the best boy. By doing this run, I want to celebrate his life and make him proud by raising money to help as many dogs as possible experience the love I had and will always have for my Alan. 

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.

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.
