Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I made it! I have walked the Bibbulmun Track from Perth to Albany in Western Australia, a total of 967km in 69 days! My feet are tired and my knees are swollen but I am now back in Perth enjoying luxuries like a hot bath, soft bed and fresh fruit, salad and vegetables!

I took on this challenge in memory of my horse Tilly who sadly died last September. Whilst I was walking, a very good friend of mine who used to look after Tilly for me passed away. I therefore decided to complete the walk in the memory of Carol Richens as well. She will be greatly missed.

I'm raising money for The Brooke Hospital for Animals, a charity known as 'the animal charity that helps people too'. They aim to work towards healthy working animals for the world's poorest communities. They have a network of vet teams, field clinics and community animal health workers to provide care and treatment for sick or injured animals but they also work to prevent future suffering. They provide employment for local people who speak the dialect and educate owners and communities in animal care.  These animals toil in some of the world's toughest environments carrying building materials, people, goods and crops, so their poor owners can earn a living. The work of the Brooke allows the animals to live longer, healthier lives thereby supporting the families that depend on them for survival much longer. You can visit their website www.TheBrooke.org to find out about all the good work they do.

A donation of £3 a month will buy medicine for a Brooke Clinic to provide treatment to relieve painful joints. Sponsorship of just £10 would provide medicine for just over 3 months.

A donation of £18 a month will ensure a donkey will receive all the fodder, vitamins and minerals he needs for a whole month.

A donation of £48 could pay for a training session, where Brooke teams help show communities how to improve the health of their animals for the long term enhancing their chances to earn a living.

For every £150 I can raise, the Brooke can provide a training and start up kit for a community animal health worker to work with local communities to improve their animal welfare.

The Brooke is a charity very close to my heart and I would love to raise as much money as I possibly can for them.
