Westie Rescue Ireland Fundraising

Flora Women’s Mini Marathon 2011:

As founder and co-ordinator of Westie Rescue Ireland, I’ve taken part in the Flora Women’s Mini Marathon for quite a few years now. Up until a few years ago, I raised funds for various Irish dog rescues, but now Westie Rescue is my beneficiary… well, it would seem odd if it wasn’t!

I run the Mini Marathon each year, and training begins in plenty of time. I’ve been training all winter (okay… I might have relaxed a bit around Christmas ), taking part in triathlons, mountain biking and road races, and slogging it in the gym and roads in all weathers! I’m no Sonia O’Sullivan, but I enjoy getting fit and keeping in some sort of shape… and all this has to be fitted around the ongoing and relentless effort of running Westie Rescue, transporting dogs to and from the vet, getting them clipped and cleaned up, collecting surrenders from old homes and pounds, answering the phone, dealing with emails… I’d want to be fit!

The Mini Marathon is on Bank Holiday Monday, June 6th at 3pm. I will be accompanied by my sister, Jenny, in Team Westie Rescue! We would hugely appreciate any bit of support that you can give us as we run, walk and crawl our way around the course, so pleae, if you can at all, donate a few quid via Paypal, or contact me by email for alternative ways to donate.
Please note, all our work is voluntary, and every penny raised goes directly to rescuing and rehoming Westies, all year round.
Thank you for your support!

You can sponsor me via the Paypal link on the site, or you can donate direct into the Westie Rescue account: if you’d like details of this, please email Maureen, who’ll be delighted to forward you all information you need as she dashes past the keyboard on another training run!
Thank you for your support!
