Fiona's 625 mile December Challenge - MATCH FUNDING TOO !!!
As you may know, if you follow our social media, we have had a tough time over the past few years to keep going and running the Animal Sanctuary and we really want to carry on for as long as we can for the sake of all our 400 rescues.
To this end, Fiona is going to take on a monumental running challenge this December and will attempt to run 25 miles a day - EVERY DAY - from the 1st to the 25th on December in the hope of raising as much as we can to help the sanctuary through the Winter months when the feed costs escalate - but also and extremely importantly, to show that she can do all the daily sanctuary work as WELL as run this distance demonstrating that living as a Vegan for over 50 years she is not just "surviving" but "thriving" !
This is a very very big ask, as the December workload is HUGE at the sanctuary
Over the first 25 days in December Fiona is aiming to run a colossal 625 miles - as converting this to pounds, its approximately the cost of feeding the animals for a single day - and that's during the Summer - it only gets worse in the winter!
Best of all - we have a backing sponsor for this challenge who will be DOUBLING everything raised by Fiona - this makes it a fantastic opportunity to really ensure that we can make it to 2025 any beyond
Of course one major issue is telling people that Fiona is doing this, as our "reach" continues to be absolutely dire
So please feel free to share this as frequently as possible now and during the event itself
We will be posting daily updates on our FB & IG pages as well as our website with a more detailed report on Fiona's Patreon page for those who want to know the finer details !!
