My story
I can hardly believe it, but I reach my half century on13th February. I would love to celebrate by doing something special to help Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare, which is based at Hersham in Surrey.
In 2011, Brian and I began sharing our home with Bessie and Smurf, two of the lovely hounds at Hersham looking for a new home. They have brought many good things into our lives and I would like to do something to help their doggy pals. So many greyhounds are discarded every year when they don't quite make the grade on the racetrack. This is so sad when they have run their hearts out for their owners and when they make such wonderful, gentle pets. The hounds at Hersham have been lucky to find themselves there; the dedicated staff and volunteers do all they can to care for the dogs and to find new homes for as many as possible.
It costs a lot to run the kennels and I will therefore be giving them £100 in celebration of my birthday. If you feel able to give something to increase this gift, I would really appreciate it. Even better, take a trip there and take a hound out for a walk - you may well be tempted to adopt one!
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you so much for your friendship and support.
