I truly believe in helping animals, hence why I work as a vet. I have decided I would like to also help animals abroad who don't have an owner to care for them. I will go out to Sri Lanka for 2 weeks in January as a volunteer (I am self funded so not needing to raise money in order for the charity to cover any of my costs etc).

As much as they need people to volunteer they also need funds to pay for the clinic and costs of medications. I did think of just encouraging people to donate to what I feel is a worthy cause, but I thought you all might like to make me go from some form of suffering also. I used to be a runner many many years ago and some of you will know how much i love running (heavy sarcasm here) and more recently was a cyclist but again, ask anyone who has been out on a bike ride about my current lack of fitness.... so...

For every £10 donated I will do one of the following:

1km of running or walking OR 10km of cycling, OR 10 lengths of a swimming pool (25m)

For every share on social media I will do one of the following:

100m of running or walking, OR 1km of cycling, OR 1 length of a 25m Swimming pool

For every Like on social media I will do one of the following:

50m of running or walking, OR 5km of cycling, OR half a length of a 25m Swimming pool

Aiming for £350 but will do to whatever total (I could be setting myself up for a lot of exercise). I am also not setting a concrete deadline on when I complete it all by, however it will be ASAP!

Thanks guys
