A Love for Animals, a Drive for Change

Fiona's passion for animals ignited at a young age. Growing up on a dairy farm, she witnessed firsthand the suffering endured by animals raised for food. This experience sparked a deep compassion within her, leading her on a lifelong mission to advocate for their well-being.

In 2006, Fiona stumbled upon a distressing sight: a pack of abandoned hounds. Their frail and neglected state moved her profoundly, and she decided to take them home. Little did she know that this act of kindness would set her on an extraordinary path.

Running as a Platform for Advocacy

To amplify her voice for animal rights, Fiona devised an ingenious plan: she would run marathons with her rescued hounds by her side. Through this unconventional approach, she hoped to raise awareness about animal cruelty and inspire others to make ethical choices.

Fiona's first marathon was a grueling experience. Despite the physical challenges, she was determined to complete the race for the cause she believed in.
