Vet prepares for London run for Blue Cross

John Goacher out training with dog Jessie.

Vet John Goacher is making his final preparations ahead of a fund-raising run around the streets of the capital this Sunday (27 April).

Mr Goacher, who co-owns independent A+G Vets in Bonnybridge, Falkirk, with wife Ashley, is taking on the London Marathon and is aiming to reach a target of at least £3,000 for animal charity Blue Cross.

He said: “We regularly use the Blue Cross and often point our clients in their direction.”

Training

He added: “I have been very privileged to be asked to run for them in the London Marathon this year and so far my training is going very well and the fund-raising is going really well.

“I have surpassed the £2,000 minimum fund-raising needed, but it would be amazing for me to be able to reach at least £3,000.”
