Raising money for

Nowzad Dogs

Charity Registration No. 1119185

An Afghan dog's life is not one of comfort at the best of times; most of the day is spent hunting for scraps of food or hiding from the hot desert sun during the summer and the freezing cold of an Afghan winter night. There is definitely no pampered pet status in Afghanistan.

We have started small but with your help we can only get bigger! All the money that is donated goes directly towards helping the animals in need while raising awareness of the problems that homeless animals, (in war zones), can and do face. We realise we cannot transport all of the stray dogs of Afghanistan to loving homes but we will do our best to promote animal welfare and to assist vital animal aid work that is carried out by the Afghan rescue centre. We are working hard to provide a sustainable plan for training and educational programs to train the Afghan vets of tomorrow as they just don't have the adequate educational facilities in place and to promote the benefits of animal clinics. It will be a long slow road but I hope that you will stay with us for the journey. We keep all administration costs to a minimum - the Nowzad Dogs team are all unpaid volunteers!

Our mission statement:

'To relieve the suffering of animals, predominantly stray and abandoned dogs, in need of care, attention and to provide and maintain rescue facilities for the care and treatment of such animals, especially the dogs of Afghanistan'. Registered charity 1119185

My story

On Sunday 15th November, I will be participating in 'Hell Down South'. This is a 10 - 12 mile multi terrain course over tracks, trails and water filled areas. (i'm only short...I could well drown! :o)

It will be held at Longmoor Military Training Camp in Bordon, Hants.

I am running for Nowzad Dogs. A fantastic charity rescuing stray and abandoned dogs (and sometimes cats) in war zones. Many of the animals are befriended by military personnel who cannot bear to leave them when their Tour is over. They come to Nowzad for help in bringing their buddy home. They also promote animal welfare and assist vital animal aid work that is carried out by the Afghan Rescue Centre. They are solely run by volunteers and do an amazing job in caring for these dogs & bringing them home to the UK where possible.

To get in the Hellrunner spirit, i will don a pair of devil horns, red bow tie & devils tail! I'm sure by the time I have swum/sludged through 'The Bog of Doom' these items will no longer be red! But it will be worth it!
