Last year, Alfie took on the challenge of the sands and he splashed through streams and wagged his tail the entire way - having the best time. This year, he's ready to do it all over again and he needs your support!

Alfie was brought to East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust using charitable funds providing much needed moments of happiness and companionship. Alfie enables conversations and has adapted services, developed initiatives and strengthened our wellbeing programme. Please help Alfie to cross the finishing line by making a donation.

Every paw Alfie takes is in aid of ELHT&Me to enhance patient experience across our hospitals and community healthcare services.

A quote from a patient's visitor: ""Having Alfie visit the ward meant the world to my wife, Sue. She hadn't seen our two dogs at home for over five weeks so Alfie's visits brought a much-needed sense of comfort. Stroking his soft ears and feeling his lovely fur instantly calmed her. It truly made her day and I couldn't help but smile seeing the joy it brought her. He's clearly a very special dog. Carry on and keep up the good work."
