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

🐾 I DID IT! 100 MILES COMPLETED! 💛
And just like that, my 100 Miles in October challenge for Dogs Trust is officially complete!
When I first signed up, I never imagined how much this challenge would mean to me. What started as a way to raise money for a cause I care about turned into something much more personal.
Throughout October, I pushed myself to keep going, even on days when I didn’t feel like it. I walked, ran, challenged myself, and even completed my first ever 10K along the way!
I’m incredibly proud to have completed something I had never done before. This experience has taught me so much about discipline, perseverance and self-confidence, and reminded me that sometimes we’re capable of much more than we initially think.
It also taught me something very important: a good pair of running shoes makes a HUGE difference! 😂
I raised £120 out of my £150 fundraising target, and although I didn’t quite reach the amount I had hoped for, I’m genuinely grateful to everyone who donated, encouraged me, or supported me throughout this journey. Every contribution helps Dogs Trust continue their incredible work supporting dogs in need.
Beyond the fundraising, I discovered something unexpected: I might actually want to make running a regular hobby!
It’s healthy, it’s fun (well, most of the time!), and it’s become one of the best ways I’ve found to clear my head, take a break from life’s challenges, and remind myself to keep moving forward.
This challenge has been about so much more than completing 100 miles. It’s been about showing up for myself, doing something outside my comfort zone, and proving that I can achieve something I once thought was beyond me.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported me and helped make this challenge worthwhile. ❤️
And, of course, a huge thank you to Dogs Trust for the amazing work they do to give dogs the love, safety and care they deserve.
Although the challenge is officially over, donations are still very much appreciated and will continue to support dogs in need.

First Week Updates!
🐾 100 Miles in October: An honest little update! 🏃♀️💛
We’re only a few days into October, and this challenge has already been more demanding than I expected!
So far, I’ve run 12 miles and walked an additional 13 miles, bringing my total to 25 miles towards my 100-mile goal.
Today was particularly special because I completed my first-ever 8K on day three! 🎉
I’ll be honest, though. I’ve been feeling incredibly exhausted, and I’ve realised that pushing myself to run every single mile isn’t necessarily the smartest way to complete this challenge.
Rather than slow down or give up on my goal, I’ve been covering some of the extra miles by walking. I want to be transparent about that because every mile counts, but I also want to be realistic about what my body can manage.
This challenge is about consistency, perseverance, and raising money for a cause I genuinely care about. It’s not about pretending every mile is easy or that I can run endlessly without getting tired!
Every step brings me closer to my 100-mile target and helps raise awareness for the dogs who deserve a second chance at a happy life. 🐶
If you’re able to support my £150 fundraising goal, even a small donation would mean so much.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared my page, or encouraged me so far. There are still plenty of miles to go, and I’m taking them one step at a time!
100 Miles in October for Dogs Trust 🐶💛
This October, I’m taking on a challenge that is a little outside my comfort zone: I’ll be running 100 miles throughout the month to raise money for Dogs Trust.
That’s roughly 3.2 miles every day for the entire month. When I signed up, 100 miles sounded like a nice, achievable challenge. Now that October has actually arrived, I’m beginning to question the wisdom of that decision! 😂
We naturally hear a lot about supporting people, whether that’s through cancer charities, mental health organisations, or causes focused on our health and wellbeing. These are incredibly important. But I think it’s also easy to forget about the animals who depend entirely on us.
Dogs don’t get to choose where they come from. They can experience neglect, abandonment and difficult circumstances, yet they still have so much love and companionship to give. Dogs Trust works to give these dogs the care, safety and second chance they deserve while helping them find loving homes.
So, for the whole of October, I’ll be putting one foot in front of the other and working towards my 100-mile target. 🏃♀️
My fundraising goal is £150, but every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference.
If you’re able to support my challenge, I’d be incredibly grateful. And if you can’t donate, sharing my fundraising page or simply cheering me on throughout the month means just as much.
100 miles. One month. Muddy trainers. One very good cause. 🐾
Thank you for supporting me and, most importantly, the dogs this challenge is for. 💛
