Anne and Liz are walking 100 miles of the South West coast path between Hayle and Falmouth,  starting on June 6th. We are doing this for two amazing causes that are very special to us. 

Secret World Wildlife Rescue is a charity in Somerset that Liz has been associated with for over 25yrs, first as their clinical vet and now as their Scientific Advisor. Each year the charity treats over 5,000 British wild animals, offers phone advise to over 12,000 members of the public and provides wildlife education from pre-school to post graduate students. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic SWWR has stayed open all year and embarked on building a new wildlife treatment centre. An additional £85k is needed to complete this, allowing the charity to continue working to amazing standards to rescue, rehabilitate and release more wildlife and we really want to be able to help. To help raise the funds for the new wildlife treatment centre please donate on this page.

Our other cause is a little different. Loui Legend is a 6yr old boy with Treacher-Collins Syndrome. His mum is one of the nurses at Anne's vet practice (Wilbury vets in Hove).  Treacher-Collins Syndrome affects the development of the bones and other tissues of the face. The signs and symptoms of this disorder vary greatly, ranging from almost unnoticeable to severe. Loui's case is unfortunately very severe, causing a number of deformities and resulting in him having to have a tracheostomy in order to breathe. He has a lifetime of hospital trips, procedures and operations, with much of the corrective surgery not being possible until he is fully grown. His tracheostomy alone has major effects on his life and that of his parents and family. His mum and dad want to be able to take him to Seattle Children’s Hospital, which has already operated successfully on  14 children  with particularly severe cases of TCS with 100% success rate in getting their tracheostomies out within the following year. We hope you'll be able to help us raise money towards his treatment and care. Please donate to help Loui as well, by going to Anne's Crowdfunding page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/annegreenwood
