Why Run for Hounds for Heroes?

David, a retired Army Captain, ran the 2023 TCS London Marathon in support of Hounds for Heroes, raising over £1,000 for the charity with an impressive finish time of 4 hours and 39 minutes. He chose to run for Hounds for Heroes because it perfectly aligned with his values as a former military member and avid dog lover. When asked why others should run for Hounds for Heroes, David said: 

"It’s a great cause with a strong connection to the military and dogs—two things I’m passionate about. Plus, it’s an incredible opportunity to challenge yourself while making a real difference!"
