Over the years I’ve raised a few hundred pounds for a couple of different charities, mostly cancer research, dementia and Alzheimer’s charities by running various races. I haven’t done for a while and I’ve been thinking long and hard about this.
I’m now coming towards the end of my 100 half marathon challenge, with just 6 left to complete. Number 95 will be this Sunday in Southampton. I was also so incredibly lucky to receive a place for London Marathon 2026 in the ballot. A 1 in a million chance this year!! I just want to do something to give a little back.

I have chosen St Barnabas mainly as its local, I’ve known of many people who have been cared for by them and their families hold the charity close to their hearts.

If you can spare a pound or two, I would really appreciate it. You can continue to follow my half marathon journey, and once my marathon training starts in January, I’ll be posting updates on my personal page.

Knowing that I am doing something to help others will spur me on, particularly throughout those dismal winter months. 🙂

A note to those who pay by bank transfer.

This is a great, convenient way to pay for your grooming. It also means I don’t have to pay the transaction fees associated with taking card payments.

Some of you pay me even before your dog arrives for their appointment! I love you guys and appreciate your level of organisation. A** grades to you!

Others pay me while I’m grooming your dogs. A* grades to you! And thank you very much!

Some of you pay me once you’ve collected your dogs and gone back home. Thank you, that’s great knowing the payment is on its way! A grades to you!

Sadly, there are a few who forget to pay me, which given our busy lives, is easily done. Hence why I allow a 24 hour period for payment. However, when the payment doesn’t come through, I am then forced to chase up the payment. This is something I find downright embarrassing to have to.
If i have to chase the same person more than twice for a payment, then I’m afraid it’s going to have to be back to cash. It just simplifies things and does away with that awkward texting back and forth.
I hope you’ll all understand 🙂
