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!
