Scottish SPCA Chief Executive Kirsteen Campbell is taking on the London Marathon in aid of the charity.
Kirsteen will experience one of the world’s largest running events in aid of Scotland’s abused, abandoned and injured animals on Sunday 22 April.
Kirsteen said, “I can’t tell you what a challenge this will be for me – it’s the first time I’ve taken on a challenge of this size.
“I am delighted to be representing the Society, especially to be sporting the newly released sports gear too!
“Since joining the charity last year I’ve been amazed at how dedicated and passionate our team is. This dedication has helped get me out on all my training runs, come snow or sun! The only thing left to do is get over that finish line on Sunday!”
Sharon Comrie, superintendent of the Society’s animal rescue and rehoming centres, said, “We all think that Kirsteen’s efforts are incredible, and we are bursting with pride too.
“This is such an amazing challenge to take on and we’re extremely grateful to Kirsteen for her hard work and dedication to the cause.
“We rely solely on the generosity of the public to help us continue rescue and rehabilitating animals across Scotland and events like these really do help us save lives.
“We’ll all be cheering Kirsteen on at the weekend!”
