Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.



On the 1st, 2nd a of September 2016 I have decided to do a sponsored walk . On day 1 walk from Dunvegan to the start of the mole road, day 2 from start of the mole road to skye bridge . Training over the last 4 months have goine really well so i am now going to do the walk in 2 days instead of the original plain 3 days. The main reason is to raise money for two charities very close to my heart 1. Scottish Staffordshire bull terrier rescue and 2. Three counties dog rescue . The 1st because, any of you that know me will know i have a real love for staffies, my dear old staffie sumo whom I lost just under a year ago showed me years of loyalty and friendship and in the right hands are one of the nicest dogs you could ever own , and are so misunderstood and far too many people have the wrong opinion of this breed. The 2nd is a charity that my family have been involved with for many years since before I was born and on occasion I have ferried dogs from one foster home to another. Even though based in England a few dogs have been rehoused here on Skye and having a fantastic life, Having this charity so close to home makes you realise how much of a struggle it is to help these poor homeless souls. As I would like to raise money for several charities these two I feel are a must on this occasion. I have spoken to a few friends asking to join me on my mission , but happy if any one else would like to join me as well, more the merrier, I am also looking for any help for a support team on route etc, If any one reading this is interested in joining in and raising money for a charity close to their heart or supporting on route let me know. I will be setting up a fundraising page of some sort with a help from a friend shortly. Thanks for reading xxxxxxx 



About the charity

We are an entirely voluntary organisation, totally dependent on donations and fundraising efforts. We find homes for dogs who can no longer stay with their owners. We raise funds for veterinary fees, kennelling, feeding and caring for Staffies with a view to rehoming.
