Registered veterinary nurse Julie Mitchell is running the London marathon!

Julie our registered veterinary nurse has been lucky enough to secure herself a place in this years Virgin London Marathon. Many of you are already aware that she is a keen runner and have seen her pounding the streets around Sidmouth.

She says “the training is grueling, but the final 26.2 miles is the prize”

She has picked the Blue Cross charity to run for and we could not be happier!

When Julie was asked why she picked the Blue Cross here's what she said:

"... they help all animals. My love of animals started at a very young age, now with my job working with them my dream came true. There are a lot of people that don’t share my love of animals and abuse them, the Blue Cross helps them! Some people love their animals and can not afford them, again the Blue Cross helps....it’s a great cause"

In this profession we truly do get to see the best and the worst of how humans treat animals, and charities like this are invaluable to those in need. If you would like to sponsor her, you can do that through this link to her Just Giving page
