Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

You must be thinking this is rather surreal.  Us pair of fatsos who must be the only people who have actually put on weight since we got our dogs (probably because we finish off their  left over dinner every night). And now we think we can actually run a marathon.   Well, we did until we started reading the training manual.  Anyway, we are running the 2016  London Marathon, and we are doing it for animals because as you know we are both nuts about our own two, and because, like many animals rescued by the Blue Cross, we are a bit moth eaten and past our best, but it's not our fault we are old with faces only a mother could love.

The more money we can raise, the more we will feel that there is no backing out, and your faith and goodwill will give us comfort (and something to curse) when we are forcing ourselves out to train in the stinging rain which accompanies a traditional spring day in Tunstall.  Every single penny counts, and no donation is too small. Thank you,

From Sarah and Andy, and their trainers and running mates,  Bouncer and Piper
