My story
The boys are back in town!
After Jeremy, Simon and Peter's heroic completion of the London Marathon last year wearing SPANA's amazing donkey costumes, we couldn't resist putting the donkeys back in the running this year! The 2010 team is made up of Simon Pope, Director of Communications (a glutton for punishment as this will be his second year!), Aaron Lamb, Direct Marketing Officer and SPANA supporter, Tom Gainard.
Running a marathon is no easy task, but completing one wearing a 17kg donkey costume is just plain crazy! In 2009 our last donkey finished after a gruelling 9 hours and 11 minutes in what turned out to be a day of burning heat.
Completing the marathon this way is a very graphic reminder of the enormous burdens that working animals have to carry every day of their lives and the distances they have to carry them. It’s true that many donkeys and mules have to complete a marathon every day of their working lives - we have to do it just once (or twice in Simon's case!).
SPANA's work would not be possible were it not for the generosity of our supporters so please give generously to support our team. Every penny will be helping to save the lives of working animals worldwide and improve the lives of the people who depend on them. Please go to www.spana.org for more information about our work.
Simon, Aaron and Tom
