The Mazda London Triathlon 2009 · 1 August 2009 ·

We aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help, caring for them until their owners or loving new homes can be found, no matter how long it takes. We are champions for, and supporters of, vulnerable dogs and cats, determined to create lasting changes for animals in our society.

Story

Hello! I need your help. I'm raising money for the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home by running the London Triathlon, and I need sponsors to reach the £500 goal. The Battersea home is a charity close to my heart. For nearly 150 years they've been taking in abandoned or stray dogs*, getting them healthy and socializing them, and then finding them new homes -- with a strict no-kill policy even if it takes a long time. My dog, Jackson, came from a similar no-kill shelter in the US. Last year alone BHDC rehomed 2,802 dogs and cared for 9,262 others, and your donation will help them save even more. This is a huge challenge for me. I've never done a triathlon before. The most I've done is 5k and 10k runs, so adding the cycling & swimming is a whole new kettle of fish. But when I think of all the dogs that will get rescued, it's worth the extra effort. Please support me by donating at my secure JustGiving site: http://www.justgiving.com/londonmitch1 It's easy, and Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. Thanks for your support! --Mitch (*and cats too, but I'm all about the dogs.)
