What's it like running for the RVC's Animal Care Trust?
"it's such a fun atmosphere with so many people raising money for wonderful causes. I'm so excited to be a part of it all. I'm tired now but I've had a great time." Kate
"It was a very emotional experience. For me, it's just to keep running and remembering why I am doing this. It's obviously to get as much money as I can for the RVC's Animal Care Trust but mostly for little Cherry who was the most loving dog and I miss her loads." Barbara
