95% of the way there, thanks so much to everybody for their kindness, we're going to be making a big difference to the shelter! 

13/3/15 - Thanks for the great donation Greg! Keep the criptonite on ice until after the race though! Thanks Ant, maybe a giant cat suit would be more appropriate? I'll look into it...

11/3/15 - I'm optimistically upping the target for a second time. Thanks Elizabeth, muchas gracias Jaime!

10/3/15 - thanks for the incredibly generous support Robert, James, Cass, Jim & Kathy, Katy & Boston, Meg & Patti,  Mary & Jim, Tim & Sonja. So close to the second target, thanks guys!!!

8/3/15 - Wow, big donation today, thanks for such fantastic support, the animals will be really grateful! I've upped the target, let's see if we can get there!

6/3/15 - More than 400 euros, incredible! Thanks for the generous support Ed & Wendy, Sophie, Nicky & Phil.

5/3/15 - más de 250 euros, wow!!! Moltes gracias Ricard, has estat molt generòs!

3/3/15 - más de 100 euros, qué bien! Muchas gracias a Flor y Bárbara por el apoyo!!!

Anyone who knows me knows how improbable it is that I am signed up for a Marathon! I traded in my cigarettes for running shoes a year ago and it was only a half-thought in the back of my head that I might ever get this far!

I'm delighted to be able to run and at the same time help out the amazing animal shelter here in Barcelona that has been doing incredible work to help re-house abandoned and abused pets for 70 years. 

If you have an empty corner in your flat, there is an amazing animal up there just waiting to fill it, I can tell you from experience that you won't regret it! Of course, if you don't, the next best thing you can do is sponsor me to run the marathon!

Yo elegí adoptar un animal y correré a favor de la Lliga, pero si tú quieres ayudar a esta protectora, puedes hacer muchas cosas:

ADOPTA. Si te encantan los animales y eres una persona responsable y cariñosa, en la Lliga encontrarás a alguien muy especial que te dará alegría y te devolverá multiplicado todo el cariño que le des.

APADRINA. Si no puedes adoptar, tienes la posibilidad de apadrinar a uno de sus animales. Podrás ir a verlo cuando quieras, acariciarlo, hacerle compañía y pasearlo si es un perro.

DONATIVOS. También puedes ayudar a la Lliga realizando una aportación económica o material, ya que con ello ayudarás y mucho al mantenimiento de su refugio.

HAZTE SOCIO. Si te das de alta como socio, podrás contribuir al mantenimiento de la Lliga y a que puedan seguir atendiendo a los animales que llegan a diario al refugio. 

HAZTE VOLUNTARIO. Si crees que reúnes los requisitos necesarios y eres una persona comprometida, plantéate ser voluntario de la Lliga.

Desde que fue creada en 1944, La Lliga per a la protecció d'animals i plantes de Barcelona tiene como misión acoger a animales en situación de desamparo, maltrato y/o abandono, albergarlos en nuestro refugio en las mejores condiciones y durante el tiempo que sea necesario hasta encontrar para ellos un hogar definitivo y responsable donde sean cuidados y queridos.

Just to clarify, you will be wearing a chicken suit?

A marathon is a big challenge. It's great that you've linked it to a good cause. As a dog and cat lover and father of a daughter who's passionate about animals and hates seeing them badly treated (as do I) I hope it's a big success. Ánimos!!!

Hi Robin!
I always participate in this kind of things because I like helping other people to be happy and to improve their lives and I think that animals are very important too. I've always had pets at home and I love all kind of creatures. I would like to congratulate you because since I know you I know that you live all things with passion, dedication and courage and I am proud to know someone like you. Carry on with all your projects and make this world a little bit better!

Congratulations on challenging yourself and helping to support a wonderful cause. We're very proud of you.
