It does sound a lovely route, doesn't it? We're going to keep trying for the London Marathon but this will be very nice in the interim. :-)

Oh, thank you so much - yes, I'm hopefully going to set up a justgiving page for the run closer to the date. We really want to try & raise some funds for them as they're getting more & more dogs to rehome at the moment because of the financial climate. It costs nearly £300 to rehome each dog plus they have some who are abuse/neglect cases & they require a lot of medical care. It's such a good cause & we'll be forever grateful to them for uniting us with Buddy. ♥
