This year Robert and I have decided to take part in the British 10 London Run to raise money for the charity PetSavers.

The wellbeing of our pets has always been close to our hearts. I was lucky enough to grew up in the Austrian country side and was surrounded by kittens, cats, dogs of all sizes, bunnies, horses and more. My pets Maxi, the cat, and our dogs Flocki and his predecessor Rocky were my constant companions through my young and later teenage life. Thanks to our vets all of them lived a long and happy live and were much loved members of our family. I wouldn't be the person today if it wasn't for them.

Now, our young cat Dexter has come into our lives and fills our time with happy purrs and much beloved stroking time. To make sure, he stays as fit and healthy as he possibly can, we have to decided to support the PetSavers charity. Our beloved pets can also suffer from unresolved illnesses such as cancer or arthritis which may cut their lives short.

PetSavers is a charity which funds studies into the many unsolved medical and surgical problems of our pets. Unlike humans, pets can not tell us when they are suffering or are in terrible pain. Please help us to raise £250 for a charity that supports our much loved life companions! Thank you!
