Bonnybridge獸醫在周日的倫敦馬拉鬆比賽中敲打人行道，以現金捐贈慈善

Bonnybridge獸醫John Goacher並不陌生，因為為一個很好的理由敲打人行道

Bonnybridge vet John Goacher is no stranger to pounding the pavements for a good cause, having run the Paris Marathon back in 2022 for Cancer Research.

Bonnybridge獸醫John Goacher並不陌生，因為他在2022年進行了巴黎馬拉鬆比賽以進行癌症研究，這並不陌生。

However, he admitted Sunday’s London Marathon is something special.

但是，他承認週日的倫敦馬拉鬆比賽很特別。

"It’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” he said, just days before he was due to head down south for the big event. “It’s the biggest fundraising event in the world. Most people apply for years and still can’t get in.

他說：“這是我一直想做的事情。”就在他要去南方參加大型活動的前幾天。 “這是世界上最大的籌款活動。大多數人申請了多年，但仍然無法參加。

"There are about a million people who apply for it and only 70,000 get to actually run it.”

“大約有100萬人申請它，只有70,000人實際運行它。”

Hoping 2025 could finally be the year he got to achieve his ambition, John contacted the Blue Cross Animal Charity to see if he could run in the marathon for them. He was put on a waiting list and found out late last year he had been lucky enough to earn a slot.

希望2025年終於能夠實現自己的野心的一年，約翰聯繫了藍十字動物慈善機構，看看他是否可以在馬拉鬆比賽中參加馬拉鬆比賽。他被列入等待名單，並發現去年年底他很幸運地贏得了一個插槽。

"They’re not as well known as the Dogs Trust or the PDSA, but they do a lot of good work and offer a pet bereavement service which I recommend to people we see at the practice."

“它們並不像狗的信任或PDSA那樣廣為人知，但是它們做了很多好工作，並提供寵物喪親服務，我建議我向我們在實踐中看到的人。”

John and wife Ashley run A+G Vets, in Main Street, Bonnybridge, and when he is not looking after the health of our furry friends, John can usually be found out running – especially over the last four months.

約翰（John）和妻子阿什利（Ashley）在邦尼布里奇（Bonnybridge）的大街上經營A+G獸醫，當他不照顧我們的毛茸茸的朋友的健康時，通常可以發現約翰跑步 - 尤其是在過去四個月中。

Although he was always a keen sportsman, running was not something John enjoyed until relatively recently – he once admitted he actually hated running the cross country when he was at school.

儘管他一直是一個敏銳的運動員，但直到最近，跑步才是約翰享受的 - 他曾經承認，他在學校上學時實際上討厭越野跑。

What a difference a few years can make.

幾年來有什麼不同。

John said: "I’m at the stage now which they call full on ‘maranoia’ – where you’re paranoid about every little thing as the date approaches and everything starts to hurt. You put in four months of solid training only to injure yourself tripping over kerb – that kind of thing.

約翰說：“我現在在舞台上，他們稱之為“馬拉諾亞”（Maranoia） - 隨著日期的臨近，您對每一件事的偏執，一切都開始受傷。

"I ran Paris three years ago and that was my first ever marathon. I picked up a couple of injuries and went in with a sore knee.”

“我三年前跑了巴黎，那是我有史以來的第一次馬拉鬆比賽。我受傷了幾個，膝蓋酸痛。”

Now older, but also wiser and probably fitter than he was for that European adventure, John is ready and raring to go for Sunday’s big event.

現在比他的那個歐洲冒險更大，但也比他更聰明，可能更健康，約翰已經準備好了，迫切需要參加週日的大型活動。

“I’m champing at the bit. This time I have a bit more experience under my belt. It’s forecast to be warm on Sunday, but you don't want it being too warm – just a bit of sunshine.

“我有點挑戰。這一次，我有更多的經驗。預計在周日要溫暖，但是您不希望它太溫暖 - 只是陽光。

"I’m hoping to finish in under four hours – that’s my goal.”

“我希望在不到四個小時內完成 - 這是我的目標。”

John will be travelling down on Friday with Ashley – who is desperate to visit the Tower of London and, of course, cheer her husband on as he progresses down the world famous race route.

約翰將於週五與阿什利（Ashley）一起旅行 - 阿什利（Ashley）迫切希望參觀倫敦塔，當然，丈夫沿著世界著名的賽車路線前進。
