Freddie Allen
Freddie Allen decided to run the London marathon to raise money for Brooke in memory of his much-missed mother Jo – who loved horses and supported Brooke.

When we asked Freddie why he was running the marathon for Brooke he said:
“Mum adored animals of all shapes and sizes – our home in Leicestershire was often described as a zoo! She loved no animal greater than her horses. Horses were her life and still are for my family.
“She cared deeply for the wellbeing of all animals – something I have inherited from her. I am honoured to run the London Marathon for a great cause in her memory.”
