Thanks

Monday 22nd Apr
Hi everyone Just a quick thank you to everyone who donated and helped with raising awareness of my London Marathon fundraising campaign for Scottish SPCA, I completed the marathon in 4:27 which is average time however my main goal was to ensure I completed the marathon to show thanks for all the support and money raised . As it stands my fundraising total is about £1500 with more donations still coming in. The money raised will help even more animals get a 2nd chance of a better life.

All ready for tomorrow 🐶🐶

She loved nothing more than to curl up on couch and snuggle in. She loved to sunbath or to sit by the fire as well as long walks and into everything. She was my 2nd rescue dog all have given me so much over the years, I wanted to give back by doing this marathon and hopeful raising some money for them to ensure the continued work the SSPCA does for these loving animals.
