Scarborough mum and daughter joined by goat trio for charity runs

Jackie said she was convinced by Megan to take part in their daily charity runs after learning of a challenge to run 31 miles in January to raise money for MND.

“She twisted my arm. I’m not very fit, I will admit I am overweight. I don’t do much running, I work a lot on the farm and exercise that way,” Jackie said.

“She’s dragging me out. I do a mile every day and we are just hoping people will support us.”

Megan said the three goats on the farm were already used to joining them on dog walks, so she decided to take them out for the daily run along the farm’s drive.

Despite her mum’s initial reluctance to take up the challenge, it was now Jackie that was encouraging her to get outside, Megan said.

Since taking up the challenge, the pair have combatted the icy weather by wrapping up warm and taking hot showers after every run.

“You get back and you feel good anyway, so it is worth it,” Jackie said.

The pair said they had so far raised £600 for the charity, but hoped to reach £1000 by the end of the month.
