Donegal for The Underdogs NI"},"content":{"rendered":"

Jacqueline McGonigle, owner of whatsonni.com and full time cabin crew at Loganair will be taking on the Quest Challenge (four half marathons in four days) from 13th to 16th August this year to raise funds for local animal welfare charity The Underdogs NI<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

\"\"This will be the first time Jacqueline has taken on the Quads, but it has been on her bucket list for quite some time. She started running at the ripe age of 49 and ran her first marathon in Belfast at 51. Now aged 58 and recently recovered from a thoracic spine fracture, Jacqueline is back training and ready for a challenge. No stranger to rescue dogs, she is the proud owner of Bobby, her 9 year old tripod black lab who has run hundreds of miles with her in the past, and a past winner of the Spirit of Waggy Races Award.<\/p>\n

The Underdogs N<\/a>I, located less than a mile from Jacqueline’s home in Upperlands, are an amazing organisation who rescue animals who have run out of options, from surrenders to pounds dogs.\u00a0 The work that they do is endless in ensuring animals in their care are treated for any ailments they may have when they arrive, as well as placing for foster and adoption.<\/p>\n

The Underdogs NI are a dedicated team of volunteers who give up their time free to protect animals and give them a second chance at a life in a caring environment.<\/p>\n

Needless to say vet fees, along with day to day costs run high, and as a charity the Underdogs NI<\/a> rely on the goodwill of donations.<\/p>\n

If you would like to sponsor Jacqueline in her efforts please make a friends and family <\/em>Paypal<\/a> payment to quadrathonunderdogsni@gmail.com<\/strong> and include a note with your name and contact details.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Everyone who makes a donation will be entered into a free draw.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

You could be in with a change of winning an overnight stay for 2 including breakfast in a Hastings Hotel <\/a>of your choice!<\/strong><\/h4>\n
