My friend and I are running Bristol half marathon next month, both of us work in a veterinary practice and see the devastation cancer causes first hand, we see dogs go through chemo, and both myself and colleague have had our own dogs go through exactly what we see the clients go through. I lost my dog "Trude" a year ago to lymphoma, Clare's dog went into remission! but now face's a nasty aggressive tumour in his mouth for which the prognosis is poor. We would both like to run for a mighty cause! and we would both like to run to raise money for your charity. It doesn't give us log to raise money, but through work and friends I am sure we can raise enough to help.

Your Sincerely,

Debbie

I'm slowly collecting your sponsor money from the Bristol half marathon, my finish time was 2 hours and a minute! Not the best result I was hoping for, but it was for the cause after all that I was truly running for! I will send a cheque next week (is your address on your website?) and would you like it made payable to Canine Cancer UK? Clare unfortunately came down with campylobacter before the race (one of the joys of working with animals!) so couldn't run to which she was gutted! I will get my boyfriend to email you some photos (beyond my skills and knowledge of the computer!)

Hope all is well!

Debbie
