Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Some friends contacted us because they were planning on climbing the 3 peaks (Ben Nevis - 1343m, Scafell Pike - 978m and Snowdon - 1085m) in August. They were hoping to use us as a B & B and a place to dump their dogs but didn't plan on getting an extra body on their trip! It sounded like great fun and a real challenge, an opportunity definitely not to be missed. So I thought that it would be a good idea to raise some money for charity at the same time.

The charity that I have chosen is the Search and Rescue Dog Association (SARDA) Southern Scotland. It is a non profit making, voluntary organisation to help the Police and Mountain Rescue Teams search for missing people. It depends on the support of the public.

I wanted to support a local charity so that I could see where the money was going and hopefully I will get to be a "body" on one of their training sessions. This appeals a lot more than a larger charity and is very relevant to what I am doing.
