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

I’m helping raise money for dogs in need by joining the Royal Parks Half Marathon with Dogs Trust.

My family adopted Honey (a honey-coloured lurcher) from Dogs Trust Darlington back in 2015 when I was a fresh-faced 18 year old. I am now 28 and Honey could be anywhere from 11 upwards (we have no idea!). Dogs Trust brought her over from Belfast where she was roaming the streets and she never even made it to their website as we had enquired already about lurchers to keep our whippet company. She has lived a life of luxury ever since, often being made her own personal omelette for breakfast and sleeping on the human bed.

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.
