Special Guest Fiona Oakes At Aberdeen’s First Ever Vegan Festival

We are delighted to welcome our special guest Fiona Oakes to the first ever vegan festival in Aberdeen. Fiona Oakes is a British marathon runner, who holds three world records for marathon running.

In 2013, she won both the Antarctic Ice Marathon and the North Pole Marathon. She runs despite losing a knee cap from an illness when she was 17.  Fiona has been vegan since 6 years old. She runs Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary and is a patron of the Captive Animals Protection Society.

Fiona works long hours on a sanctuary she runs almost single-handedly, on which she cares for 400 animals including horses, pigs, sheep and dogs. She also fundraise’s for the sanctuary, for which the food bill is over £5000 per month, and for other animal issues. Typical working days start before dawn and end around 8pm on her sanctuary in Essex, UK.
