Story

Hi!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I am trying to raise money for The Blue Cross, Britain's Pet Charity. Every year The Blue Cross re-homes up to 6,000 pets and provides free veterinary care for many thousands, at a cost of 11.5 million pounds! They have 11 small animal adoption centres, 2 equine adoption centres and 4 small animal veterinary hospitals. They need as much support as possible to keep up their good work.


I have just done a one-week, 220 km trek over frozen wastelands and through pine forests in the North of Norway, caring for my own team of 4 Siberian Husky dogs. I trekked for about 4-6 hours a day, at temperatures as low as -30*C! It was a physical and mental challenge but ultimately rewarding and certainly unforgettable.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is the most efficient way to sponsor me and The Blue Cross will receive your money faster. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support.
