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

This October, I'm challenging myself to run 100 miles for Dogs Trust. 
I am a Volunteer Canine Assistant in Manchester, my Sunday evening shifts are often the highlight of my week. Admittedly, on my second volunteering shift I met a very sweet greyhound, fell in love and adopted him! He is an ex racing greyhound so now he runs for fun. I have attempted a few jogs with him but he much prefers a slow trot or a 45km/h sprint in a secure field, so I will be running this solo whilst Frank sleeps upside down on the sofa 😂 
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 🐾

People usually look away when I run past panting, but today, my bright yellow Dogs Trust running top bought me lots of smiles from those who recognise the Dogs Trust logo and colours!! 💛
