IT’S National Pet Month and I’m urging animal lovers to take part in the Blue Cross ‘Rescue Run’ to help the charity care for pets in need.
Complete 26.2 miles between 1 and 31 May however you like – hop, skip, jump, walk or run, you can even take part with your dog.
Every penny raised will go towards helping the thousands of homeless, abandoned, sick and injured pets the charity takes in each year and each participant receives a special medal when they have completed their virtual marathon.
