Fundraising has changed my life
An animal lover’s life has changed for the better after he impulsively took on a fundraising challenge.
David Ives feels fitter than ever after putting his name down for a 10-mile run followed by a marathon to raise funds for Canine Partners.
The 47-year-old of Guelph’s Lane, Thaxted, is in training for the BUPA Great South Run in October and the Brighton Marathon in April.
He said: ”Before this, the only thing I had ever run was a bath.
“One minute I’m looking at cute little puppies on a charity website and the next thing I know, to my horror, I’ve signed up to do the BUPA Great South Run and the Brighton Marathon."
