Sandy the Golden Retriever had a carrot every evening at 9 pm. She might have missed one or two over the years, however this was her routine since she was three months old. Sandy was diagnosed with very rare type of cancer (digit melanoma) in August 2019, lost a toe following a successful operation and lived cancer free until August 2020. Unfortunately, she then developed multiple secondary cancerous tumours, including in her lungs and eyes, and sadly died in October 2020.

Cancer is one of the deadliest but widely researched human diseases, and we must acknowledge that it effects animals just as much. In fact, rarer cancer types are experienced far more in animals.

When Sandy died nothing made sense, and a huge hole was suddenly formed. The Golden Carrot is an idea created to help others via related charitable organisations, starting with ACT, and to support cancer research in animals.
