Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Phil and I have decided to do this years London Marathon firstly to challenge ourselves and prove that we can conquer one of the biggest and best sporting activities in the world of which only 1% of the population ever do - Run a marathon .

Secondly though we both want to raise money and support Dogs for Good who are an amazing charity that use assistance dogs to help people lest fortunate than most of us with Physical disabilities , families with autistic children , activity and therapy dogs in communities and schools and also to help the charity continue their pioneering work in how Dogs can be Good for us and help people live a better life.

Pets at home have been and are big supporters of Dogs for Good and both Phil and I through our amazing stores on the East region are hoping to raise lots of money to not only help the charity but also to spur both of us on through the streets of London and helping us when the going gets tough along the 26.2 miles of this years Marathon.
