Hey everyone

Jennie here:

Just thought I had to tell you about this today. I do a bit of running but I'd never manage a marathon!

The International League for the Protection of Horses’ (ILPH) Deputy Chief Executive Tony Tyler is putting on his running shoes to raise money for the charity.

Spurred on by the shocking case in Amersham at the beginning of this year when more than 80 horses were rescued, Tony has decided to run the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday May 25, 2008.

“I’ve worked at the ILPH for eight years” said Tony, “but the state of the 11 horses we took on from Spindles Farm in Amersham has shocked us all deeply, but unfortunately it’s not an isolated case.”

It costs the ILPH thousands of pounds to rehabilitate and care for the horses that are rescued and Tony wants to run the 26.2 miles to raise money to help the charity keep doing their vital work.

Tony trains with Hoof it Harry!
