British Gas Great Swim · 26 May 2012

L.A.A. is a rehoming centre for cats and dogs. Every year, we care for around 300 animals who are lost, abandoned, neglected, unwanted or relinquished because their owners can no longer look after them. Our vision is happy pets in responsible, loving homes. Thank you for your support.

Story

Hi,

One slightly delirious day after watching the British Gas Swim Series on the TV I thought it would be a good idea to join 5000 people and swim a mile in the (clean they told me!) Thames. I'm now beginning to regret it and the only way I’m going to get into the freezing cold, dirty water is if I’m doing it for a good cause!

The charity I have chosen to support is the Leicester & Leicestershire Animal Aid (Huncote). It was this home that we recently found a dog (picture above!) to permanently adopt and it broke my heart that we couldn't take them all home.

There are certain animals living there that have difficult needs and because of this have not been able to find permanent homes. I would like to raise money to support not just these animals but all of the animals that are currently up for adoption at Huncote. The team do a fantastic job and hopefully the money raised will make a difference - even if it’s only a small one!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page; any donations regardless of size will be very gratefully received.

Thank you,

Emma xx
