Neigh stopping these fundraising foster carers

My partner Mark Jackson and I have been foster carers since October last year. We were travelling home in the car from my stables one day early in 2014 when I noticed the poster on the back of a bus we were following inviting people to contact West Sussex County Council if they would like to apply to be foster carers. I mentioned this to Mark and he had also thought he would like to do this.

Dodgy knee, spare tyre, and the drive to make a difference

I am Tony Round, and I am head of fundraising at The Fostering Network. I am fortunate enough to be able to work for a charity that dedicates itself to helping make life better for foster carers and fostered children and young people in care, and I want to help even more foster carers and children, so I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon.
