Race to raise thousands for Battersea

This weekend, a dog massage therapist from Kent will be running the 26-mile Virgin London Marathon, in a bid to raise thousands of pounds for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

Lizzie Harrison aims to raise £2000 for the rescue centre by hosting sponsored walks and pub quiz nights. She says: "My fundraising and training was slightly delayed by last month's wintry weather but now I just want to get out there, have fun and raise as much money as possible for Battersea."

Lizzie says she started her mobile canine massage company, Healing Paws, because of her seven-year-old parson russell terrier, Vinnie.

"I chose to raise money for Battersea because, without my dog Vinnie, I would never have looked into canine massage and it has totally changed my life," says Lizzie.

"Running the race is my way of giving something back to all dogs, inside and outside the Home, so they can make a difference to someone's life, like Vinnie has to mine."
