I won’t be running London for us next year but I’m ready to take on another big running challenge for my Born Free family & the animals who need our help and for us to take a firm stand for them!, as Arnie says.. I’ll be back and it’ll be an ultra marathon for Born Free next!. Your support means Born Free can continue their truly important work for wild animals worldwide and they need us now more than ever!.
