<p>Hello friends,</p> <p>&nbsp;After visiting my local RSPCA branch, it is clear to see the fantastic work they do in caring for abused and neglected animals and giving them a second chance at life. Without a place like this, I really dread to think what would become of vulnerable cats and dogs so that's when I decided to do something to help.</p> <p>I am organising a sponsored swim in August 2011, so in the meantime I intend to&nbsp;raise as much as possible to enable the RSPCA to continue its vital work, but need your support in achieving this. I am certain you'll agree that each and every animal deserves to live their lives in peace and happiness, free from fear and pain. It is for this reason I am asking you to sponsor me today, no matter how small. I'd be really grateful, as would the animals.</p> <p>Thanks to you all on behalf of our furry and feathered friends!</p> <p>Much love</p> <p>Laura</p> <p>xxxx</p>
