Sally Long is running the London Marathon

Sally has been a long time supporter of Waggy Tails and in 2025 she took on something she had never done before – running. She has been training in earnest to get fit for April 26th 2026 when she will tackle the London Marathon.
Sally has set up a Just Giving page with her story on. Please take time to read about her journey and help her fundraise.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Waggy Tails Rescue, so it’s the most efficient way to give – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
