Cheer us on at The Royal Parks Half Marathon
Come down to London's beautiful Hyde Park on 12 October and cheer for the Blue Cross runners in The Royal Parks Half Marathon. The day will be filled with fun for all with a food and fitness festival, face painting, celebrities, and family activities.

Hill's, manufacturers of Science Plan pet food, will donate £2 to The Blue Cross with every activation of a unique code found on specially stickered packs of Science Plan. Support The Blue Cross with Hill's here.

Our current appeals
The Blue Cross receives no funding from the government, so we are reliant on the generosity of animal lovers to help fund rebuilding projects like those at our Thirsk and Southampton adoption centres.
