The charity originated in Sussex in 2021 and now rescues and rehomes nationwide.
Its animals are rescued from the UK and overseas, one thing which Sam is keen about after adopting his personal rescue canine.
Sam stated: “This is a cause close to my heart as my girlfriend and I have adopted a wonderful Romanian rescue called Dolly who has inspired me to raise more for charities that help animals off the streets and into loving homes.
“PAW Society is particularly special because my girlfriend is one of the co-founders and I have seen just how much hard work, long hours and late-night meetings go into running the charity.
“As someone with no previous running experience, this is certainly going to be a challenge, but it’s worth it for a charity that I care so much about.
“My training has taken a couple of hits over the past few months – with a house move and Covid getting in the way – but I am determined to give it my all on the big day.
“All donations will help more cats and dogs find homes, so please consider giving if you’re able to.”
A spokesperson for PAW Society added: “Thank you to Sam for considering of us for his fundraiser.
“The unglamorous actuality of rescue is that we’re typically operating on little to no funds, so fundraisers like these are extraordinarily essential to us.
“With no authorities funding, we rely completely on donations to maintain operating.”
The charity ‘makes a special effort’ to rescue animals who could also be turned down by different rescue organisations, or those that are harder to rehome, similar to disabled or elderly pets.
Some of those animals keep within the charity’s take care of the remainder of their days, and can typically require costly vet therapy.
PAW Society added: “Donations from our supporters, of any measurement, are important for us to have the ability to proceed our work.
