<p>My very personal connection with Medical Detection Dogs (previously Cancer and Bio Detection Dogs) is through Attila Steady Eddie, affenpinscher puppy extraordinaire, who we donated to this wonderful charity and has been trained as a Diabetic Alert dog. He is now the UK's first ever qualified Affenpinscher Assistance Dog!</p> <p>I am asking all friends and relatives not to send birthday and christmas cards but to donate to Medical Detection Dogs instead.</p> <p>What with the credit crunch, it's easier to donate the price of a card plus postage online, and you are able to leave a message so I know you have thought of me.</p> <p>A win/win situation - we all get the 'feel good' factor!</p> <p>Love Dee</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
