Tia Greyhound & Lurcher Rescue was founded in 1996. Our work primarily involves the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of ex-racing greyhounds. However, the scope of our work also includes other sighthounds such as lurchers, as well as a variety of other animals like heavy horses and ponies.

Story

<p>Well, I spend a lot of time encouraging you to get involved in the Tia 100 Fundraisers, I thought it was about time I planned my own event.&nbsp; I've decided that I'm going to swim a mile for every dog in the kennels - that's 90 miles and at my pool 5760 lengths!!&nbsp; I'm far from being an accomplished swimmer.&nbsp; My style tends to be slow and splashy and I swim backstroke so I'm likely to concuss someone else or myself.&nbsp; So please if you can dig deep and help the Tia Dogs.&nbsp; I just hope I don't turn into a wrinkled prune by the end of December.&nbsp; Now for the blurb.</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> <p>Did my first 42 lengths yesterday and feeling the burn abit to day - they do say it gets better (I hope).&nbsp; Only 5718 lengths to go ...Yaaayy</p>
